  "account": "The Newcastle United youth team has started the season with an impressive streak of success. The Under 18s have won five out of six league matches and scored 19 goals in those games. Their latest triumph came in the Premier League Cup against Derby County Under 18s, where they emerged victorious with a scoreline of 2-0.\n\nJunior Skelton opened the scoring for Newcastle just after the 20-minute mark, followed by Alfie Hutchison securing a penalty just before halftime, which he himself converted. Despite drawing 1-1 in their initial Premier League Cup group game against Fulham, the team remains optimistic with a home game against Tottenham in the final group match on November 7th. A win in that match would see Newcastle United top their group in the Premier League North Under 18s table.\n\nCurrently, Newcastle United sits behind only Manchester City in the Premier League North Under 18s table. Looking back at the past five seasons, Newcastle has consistently performed well in the Under 18 level, with last season's finishes by Manchester clubs and Newcastle United being the dominant force. The team's performance is a testament to the significant investment in youth, following a decade and a half of Mike Ashley's insistence on investing, even when it was not mandatory.",
