Lee Bowyer and Shola Ameobi scored the goals which ensured Newcastle
avoided a potentially embarrassing pitfall against non-league Yeading.
Yeading held out for 50 minutes before Ameobi and Craig Bellamy opened up
Yeading's stubborn defence to provide Bowyer with a simple tap-in.
Ameobi clinched victory with a firm header from a free-kick.
Although Newcastle finished comfortable winners, David Clarke's free-kick
forced a fine save from Steve Harper.
Despite a difference of 129 league places, Yeading showed scant respect
for their Premiership opponents and in the opening exchanges were determined
to test out Newcastle's new £8m signing Jean-Alain Boumsoung.
The French defender twice conceded free-kicks in dangerous positions and
from the second for a foul on Errol Telemaque, Newcastle's defence was
flat-footed as Emond Protain rose highest to head over.
Newcastle tried to draw Yeading's sting by patiently stringing passes
together and Ameobi worked his way to the by-line where his pull-back
was met by a stretching Bowyer who deflected the ball wide from three
yards out.
Yeading escaped on 19 minutes when Ameobi slid a pass through for Bellamy
to rattle the crossbar with a ferocious shot, and as Newcastle maintained
the pressure Delroy Preddie produced a brilliant fingertip save from Jermain
Jenas' piledriver.
But at the other end, Newcastle keeper Steve Harper had to be at his best
to prevent the Ryman League leaders from taking the lead.
Bowyer's rash challenge on Telemaque 20 yards out gave David Clarke the
chance to curl a free-kick round the wall and it needed a full-length save
from Harper to keep it out.
Another free-kick gave Yeading a chance at the start of the second half
but from a training ground routine the ball was worked to Clarke whose
shot curled wide from 22 yards.
But five minutes into the second half, the sighs of relief were audible
as Newcastle took the lead.
Ameobi's pass found Bellamy scuttling into the inside-right channel and
he placed the ball across goal to provide Bowyer with the simplest of
tap-ins.
Bowyer had a chance to kill the game but lifted the ball over keeper
Preddie and the crossbar as he burst on to Robert's cross.
Newcastle boss Graeme Souness suffered a frustrating first half
Ameobi did give Newcastle breathing space just after the hour when he got
ahead of his marker to plant a firm header past Preddie.
Relieved of the tension, Newcastle were able to play with some freedom
and Bellamy led a lightning break from defence which ended with Bowyer
firing over under pressure from Clarke.
Newcastle attacked in waves as the part-timers tired, but they refused
to fold and showed determination and spirit to deny Newcastle.
Yeading were denied a deserved consolation when Harper went full-length
to palm away Darti Brown's fierce shot.
