Young stand-in goalkeeper Harry Moss was outstanding on his Heed debut, while Gateshead's ability to start each half in perfect fashion ultimately proved decisive.
The league's leading scorers and only unbeaten side could have had more than their two goals and also rattled the post as two promotion hopefuls locked horns in the Tyneside sunshine.
