Newcastle continued their pre-season preparations with a 4-1 defeat at Championship side Bristol City on Wednesday night.
Sam Greenwood's curling free-kick put Bristol City ahead before Lorent Tolaj doubled the Robins' advantage before the half-hour mark.
Shortly after the restart, Max Bird's strike extended their advantage and, despite Harvey Barnes pulling one back, a Sven Botman own goal restored the three-goal cushion in the closing stages.
Ashton Gate - including 3,400 travelling Magpies fans - rose as one to conduct a minute's applause in honour of the late Kevin Keegan in the seventh minute, a nod to the number he wore during a terrific playing career.
"I thought it was a really good test for us," Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said post-match.
