The Academy were beaten 3-1 by Carlisle at Chester-le-Street on Wednesday afternoon.

They conceded two early goals in the game and also lost Tom Lycett because of injury, but they kept battling away and pulled a goal back early in the second half through Miguel Nunes from a great diagonal ball by Lewis Alderson.

However, Carlisle made it 3-1 midway after 70 minutes. Despite that, they kept going to the end with Sanny Lindthep standing out.
