Newcastle United 4 Carlisle United 0 | OneFootball

The Cumbrians, managed by Mark Hughes, visited the Magpies' Training Centre for the friendly, which allowed Eddie Howe's side to step up their preparations for the season ahead after they returned to training earlier in the week.

Both teams fielded different XIs in each half and Longstaff - who had been denied by Gabriel Breeze early on - opened the scoring midway through the first period with a spectacular, swerving long-range strike.

With new signing Anthony Elanga watching his new team-mates hours after his move from Nottingham Forest was completed on Friday night, Nick Pope kept out an Elliot Embleton free kick before Joe Willock fired wide after a strong burst into the box.

In the opening exchanges of the second half, a neat move saw Jacob Murphy play in Harvey Barnes, but his shot was kept out by Harry Lewis.

Then the same two players combined, with Murphy's teasing cross from the right headed wide by Barnes.

But Joelinton scored the hosts' second of the afternoon when he won possession from a reaction press high up the pitch, then slotted home.

And Murphy made it three, rounding the goalkeeper and a couple of defenders following Barnes' cutback.

Young forward Parkinson rounded off the scoring when he impressively flicked on to Barnes, who switched play to Murphy, with Parkinson improvising to backheel the ensuing cross into the net.

It made for an encouraging start to pre-season for the Magpies, whose next test sees them take on Celtic in seven days' time.
