Lightning 0-1 Geordies

Saturday 12th April - MLF Round 4
Valley Parade, Bradford, Yorkshire

Liam Cole's left-footed 40-yard free-kick and Steven Tweedy's unbelievable defending gave the Newcastle Geordies all the three points against the Leeds Lightning in Bradford.

MagiCole hit a powerful drive from long distance, that fooled Lightning keeper Mike Foster, who initially thought it was to be a cross.

The Brummie left-back's strike is certainly a Goal of the Month contender.

Steve Tweedy was electric at the back as he thwarted nearly every opportunity that the Lightning could muster.

And they created a lot of opportunities.

Judging by Steven Tweedy's performance today, if the Geordies played only him at the back, they could still keep a clean sheet.
