TOONAGE KICKS

Debut is so hard to beat for kid Leo

- BY LEE RYDER

LEO SHAHAR was pulled to the front of the post-game celebrations to pose with his Newcastle mentor Kieran Trippier after the 3-2 win over Qarabag.

Shahar was afforded his Champions League and full debut for Newcastle after signing for the club as a 15-year-old.

The youngster is highly regarded by his teammates and Trippier is very much the teenager's mentor, with the defender growing up watching Trippier star for England at the World Cup.
