“ The Match ”
The Match's Celebrity squad has been demolished 4-0 by a Newcastle United side in a practice game ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Legends.
The celebs faced a side featuring first team players like Nikky Butt, Nolberto Solano and Shola Ameobi - and the gulf in class was evident.
Ameobi opened the scoring within the first five minutes and Newcastle proceeded to dominate. Despite some brave defending from Alec Stewart and Thomas Craig, the celebrities were 2-0 down at the end of the first twenty minute half.
Graham Taylor's side fared slightly better after the interval as Newcastle gave their youth team a run out.
Anthony Hutton had a decent opportunity for a header from a Jeff Brazier free kick, but the ball drifted safely wide. Harvey then blasted over a free kick from the edge of the box after Brazier was scythed down.
Alex Lawler made a couple of fine blocks, but Newcastle took advantage of their opponents' weariness in the latter stages of the game, adding two more goals.
