Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 1 Nov, 10:23 · Archive
Newcastle United's under-21s defeated Peterborough United 2-0 in a Premier League Cup tie on Friday night. The win took place at home and featured a landmark moment for 16-year-old midfielder Jayden Kouossu, who scored his first goal at under-21s level with a header from a Johnny Emerson cross.
Kouossu joined Newcastle from West Bromwich Albion academy over two years ago and made his under-18s debut as a substitute in a 3-0 win against Blackburn Rovers last August. He has now stepped up to under-21s level this season and has been tested against senior opposition in competitions including the EFL Trophy and National League Cup.
Academy lead coach Robbie Stockdale praised the youngster's performance, describing the header as 'headed like a seasoned pro' with 'such power, great timing'. Stockdale told Chronicle Live that Kouossu has 'such a high ceiling' but must work to make goalscoring a more regular feature of his game as his career develops.
