The Magpies had taken a two-goal lead at Kingston Park thanks to a brace from Shania Hayles, but they were pegged back by quickfire strikes from Sophie Quirk and Riva Casley inside three minutes in a frantic second half.

In the end it was Demi Stokes' deflected drive that sealed the victory for Becky Langley's side, who are now just three points off third place in the Barclays Women's Championship. Harriet Massey was there to bring newcastleunited.com this gallery.
