(Sporting Alert) — Demba Ba scored a first half header and Barclays Premier League side Newcastle United picked up a close 1-0 victory over Monaco in a preseason game on Monday night.
Ba, who has been linked with several moves away from the club, netted the lone goal for Newcastle in the 33rd minute – after Monaco defenders failed to take care of a cross played inside the area.

Several Newcastle stars were involved in the game, including Jonas Gutierrez, Shola Ameobi, and Cheick Tiote.
