NEWCASTLE UNITED (3-4-2-1):
5 Dubravka: Almost caught out late on by Mitrovic, even if he didn’t have too much else to do;
4 Schar: A poor display from start to finish even if he could have scored with a header over the bar
4 Lascelles: Disappointing in the middle of a three but redeemed himself with a fantastic tackle on Kamara late on
5 Dummett: Returned to the side as part of three at the back and found it harder than he has done
5 Manquillo: Arguably the pick of the defenders but that wasn’t saying too much;
6 Diame: Tried to make a few things happen in the middle but could have done with doing more
6 Ki: Played a few nice crossfield balls without seriously getting Newcastle in behind
5 Ritchie: Lively enough and sent over some decent deliveries without getting anywhere;
4 Perez: Unable to unlock the visiting defence with his passes or runs
6 Atsu: Attempted to make things happen without actually making things happen;
5 Rondon: Never looked like testing the keeper even if he put himself about in the final third
Subs:
Kenedy (for Atsu 71)
Manquillo (for Yedlin 84)
(not used): Woodman (gk), Fernandez, Hayden, Muto, Joselu.

MAN OF THE MATCH: Alfie Mawson – did a good job in keeping hold of Rondon for the majority of the game.
