Newcastle got their pre-season off to a disastrous start as they were beaten 1-0 by non-league York City.
After struggling to carve out any clear chances throughout the 90 minutes, the Magpies were made to pay as Michael Duckworth's excellent header secured the victory for the National League North side.
Steve Bruce handed a number of big names including Ryan Fraser, Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin their first run-outs of the season, but they struggled to break down the organised underdogs and were eventually punished.
