Newcastle's friendly match at Darlington was marred by crowd trouble
Joey Barton put Newcastle into the lead after only two minutes. Sammy Ameobi scored a cracker early in the second half to make it 2-0.
Toon fans invaded the pitch, Newcastle manager Alan Pardew and assistant John Carver walked over to the supporters to try and calm them down.
A statement on the club's website said.
"On behalf of everyone at Newcastle United FC., we wholly condemn the behaviour pf a number of our supporters who invaded the pitch during the second half of the club's friendly against Darlington this evening. The club will be seeking to obtain footage of the disorder from Darlington FC and the police and will be taking the strongest possible action against those individuals responsible for the shameful behaviour. This behaviour is not typical of the vast majority of our fans, however this incident gives a poor impression of Newcastle United and it's loyal supporters".
Newcastle won 2-0
