With Leazes End legend Peter Beardsley being promoted to Newcastle Football Development Manager last week, Willie Donachie took charge of the United side.
United fielded a strong line-up including striker Nile Ranger and Slovenian star Haris Vukic.
Newcastle were quick off the starting blocks and were awarded a penalty after just six minutes, but Ranger's effort was brilliantly saved by Tyrell Belford.
Raheem Sterling fired Liverpool into the lead after 15 minutes with a superb curled effort after great work from Morgan.
Liverpool had a great chance to go 2-0 up just before the break but Toon stopper Rob Elliott produced a magnificent double save from point blank range to keep out Sterling and Krisztian Adorjan.
However, the home side roared back and were 2-1 up inside eight minutes of the restart, with Ranger, making up for his missed spot kick netting twice.
The striker then set up Michael Richardson who fired home a spectacular effort to make it 3-1.
Stunned by the second half turn in fortunes, the young Reds refused to give up and Michael Roberts netted to make it 3-2 after superb work from Ryan McLaughlin.
