Newcastle United fans have been so impressed with Elias Sorensen's recent run of form for the u23 side that they want manager Rafa Benitez to give him a chance in the first-team.

The 19-year-old scored his eighth goal of the season on Tuesday evening in a 2-0 win at Notts County in the Checkatrade Trophy and the club's fans feel he could spark much-needed energy and life into the current Magpies side.

The Dane joined the North East club at the beginning of July and is quickly developing into an exciting prospect after only a few months in the youth team.

The centre-forward also scored a hat-trick against Fulham U23s last week and with the club's ongoing battle with owner Mike Ashley about the lack of reinforcements in the summer, Benitez could have nothing to lose in adding some fresh blood to his current squad.

Here are some of the Twitter reactions by Newcastle fans to Sorensen's performance on Tuesday:
