Park gives Magpies cheer as United feel the heat in Seoul

K-LEAGUE XI....1 NEWCASTLE UNITED....O

- By LEE RYDER

NEWCASTLE United looked hot and bothered on an energy-sapping night in Seoul.

It was summed up as William Osula had to be hauled away from Anton Kryvotsyuk as frustrations boiled over before the Dane was taken off for local lad Seung-soo Park

Osula went off after an unconvincing display, leading the line with Alexander Isak still absent and Newcastle short of firepower. It was a bit of a nightmare from the get-go in truth for United.

Park’s exciting cameo was probably the highlight of the night for Newcastle with the teenager sending fans wild with some wicked wizardry out wide.

If that was a sign of things to come maybe Eddie Howe should keep him with the senior squad rather than sending him out on loan.

But it was just one of those nights for Newcastle and not much else went right. The Magpies team bus was stuck in the excruciating traffic for two hours on their way from the team hotel despite having a police escort.
