BEN Tozer made a scoring start to his Newcastle United career as the Magpies Juniors came away with a point from league leaders Notts Forest.

The 17-year-old centre-back put the visitors ahead in the 71st minute as he prodded home as the far post from a Mark Doninger left-wing corner.

That was after Dutch striker Frank Wiafe Danquah had missed a first-half penalty for the Geordies.

But Kenny Wharton's side were denied a third straight victory with just five minutes left on the clock when Forest top scorer Ryan Whitehurst fired low past Mark Cook from 16 yards out.
