Newcastle’s under-23 side returned from the capital with a point after drawing 2-2 with Fulham this afternoon.
A Tom Allan brace secured a share of the spoils from the contest, with Jean-Pierre Tiehi and Sylvester Jasper scoring for the hosts.
It was a strong performance from the Magpies and afterwards, all the talk on Twitter was regarding the performance of Allan.
The right-winger spent the first half of the current campaign on loan with Accrington, playing six games for the League One outfit.
Since the turn of the year, however, he has been working hard for the under-23 ranks and trying to impress Steve Bruce and his staff.
His two goals this afternoon were his second and third strikes of the campaign and he’s improving with each game.
Allan actually started this afternoon in a more unorthodox position upfront and he appeared to thrive.
Following today’s run-out, supporters took to Twitter to rave about the Newcastle youngster.
