Watch Rodrigo Vilca's stunning free-kick goal in Newcastle U23s warm-up

This is the moment that Newcastle United new boy Rodrigo Vilca stunned his new team-mates with a wonderful free-kick at St James' Park.

OK, it was only in the warm-up - but it was a sight for sore eyes after Newcastle's 4-1 loss to Man United at the weekend.

The Peruvian arrived from Deportivo Muncipal for £250,000 on deadline day and started his first game in a black and white shirt against Fulham reserves.

Vilca will spend the first half of the season with Chris Hogg's Under-23s and will wear the No 10 shirt for the second string.

Matty Longstaff, Ciaran Clark and Paul Dummett also started the game against Fulham Under-23s, with all three looking for match fitness after lengthy lay-offs with injury.

Achraf Lazaar made an appearance too, with the Moroccan failing to find a new club before last week's transfer deadline.
