Mainz 2 Newcastle 1 – Watch the goals and highlights here

Mainz 2 Newcastle 1 – Saturday 29 July 3pm (UK time)

Watch the goals and highlights (just over 8 minutes worth) of highlights from Newcastle’s latest friendly below.

Rafa Benitez said after the game that his team would need to learn their lessons from this defeat, with the defence not at their best and Mainz cutting through the Newcastle midfield far too easily.

The opening goal is a case in point, although it was a very good team goal by the Bundesliga team.

Newcastle’s goal is amusing after taking a wicked deflection, the look on the keeper’s face is priceless as he ends up putting the ball into his own net.

Watch out for a stunning save from Freddie Woodman, the young keeper has been given minutes in all four friendlies so far. Nothing he could do about the winner though.
