Dimitri Petratos converted a late penalty after Ryan Strain handled the ball from a deflection.

Newcastle opened the scoring early in the second through Andrew Nabbout, however the Reds hit back through George Blackwood who scored his second goal in as many games.

NEWCASTLE JETS

Glen Moss - 7

There wasn't much he could do to prevent United's equaliser, and was pretty solid whenever he was called upon.

John Koutroumbis - 6

Was beaten by Kitto a few too many times. Was replaced by Lachlan Jackson after 65 minutes.

Nigel Boogaard - 6

Made a crucial block to avoid Kitto in first half injury time, but lost Blackwood for the equaliser.

Nikolai Topor-Stanley - 7

Solid as a rock, won duels, and made vital clearances and interceptions.

Ivan Vujica - 7

Delivered some troubling crosses going forward. Defended well when he had to.
