YOUTHFUL JETS SQUAD SCORE BIG WIN OVER SHANGHAI SHENHUA

A huge result for the Newcastle Jets overnight, beating powerful Chinese club, Shanghai Shenhua, two-nil in Hakoi.

Jason Hoffman opened the scoring for the visitors midway through the first half, tapping in a Nick Cowburn free kick.

In the dying stages, 16-year-old Jack Simmons defied his age and experience to produce an impressive strike and give Newcastle a two-goal buffer.

The Jets next game is against Changchun Yatai on Sunday.
