Gateshead 0 Newcastle 1

Steve McLaren opted to field a different team in each half as he watched his side win 1-0 at Gateshead. McLaren was though celebrating a victory of a different kind as he looks to complete his first signing of the summer this weekend with the capture of Holland international Georginio Wijnaldum.

McLaren also hopes to complete the signing of former Swansea target Aleksandar Mitrovic before the end of the month

Papiss Cisseรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs early penalty was enough to separate the sides during a lively enough encounter in which the Premier League side were always in control.

Unitedรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs breakthrough came after just five minutes when Gateshead debutant Simon Ramsden slid recklessly and toppled Massadio Haidara inside the area. Cisse stepped up and clipped confidently above the dive of Sam Russell.
