Captain Nigel Boogaard gave the side the lead after 30 minutes, a lead they extended through Riley McGree with 20 minutes to play.

Victory weren't without their chances with Besart Berisha and Kosta Barbarouses testing Jack Duncan, but the Newcastle keeper always seemed up to the task to keep just his second clean sheet of the campaign.
