Newcastle youngster Lewis Miley matches long-standing Premier League record set by ex-Manchester United ace with first Toon goal

Lewis Miley scored his first Newcastle goal in the Toon's 3-0 win over Fulham at St James' Park on Saturday.

In the process, he matched a long-standing Premier League record held by a former Manchester United starlet.

The 17-year-old has been a bright spark during the Toon's injury-hit season and has seized his chance in Eddie Howe's first-team.

But that came in the second half against Fulham, who were down to ten men after Raul Jimenez was sent off for the Cottagers.

Bruno Guimaraes dribbled the ball through a couple of tackles and poked a pass through for Miley.

The Toon teen steadied himself before sliding a shot beyond Bernd Leno into the bottom corner at the Gallowgate End, sparking wild scenes on the pitch and in the stands as he opened the scoring.

He set Newcastle on their way to a seventh consecutive home league win as the Magpies bounced back from crashing out of the Champions League.

In the process, Miley became the youngest Premier League goalscorer since Federico Macheda scored that famous goal against Aston Villa in a 3-2 win in 2009.

At the start of the season, the starlet probably never imagined that he would play as many games as he has.

But it's clear that head coach Howe now trusts him, and Miley has gone from being a youth prospect to a first-team player in the space of a few weeks.

And it might be early days, but it looks
