6 Dubravka: Beaten twice at start of second half.

6 Manquillo: Good first half, linked up well with Ritchie, faded in second.

5 Lascelles: Will be disappointed with second goal.

6 Botman: Assured in possession. One of Newcastle’s best performers.

5 Lewis: Bound to be shaky, making just his third Newcastle appearance of the season.

6 Longstaff: Hard-working display. Replaced on hour.

5 Anderson: Created first half openings but sloppy with the ball at times and almost gifted Wednesday an opener.

6 Joelinton: Energetic. Teed up Wood for late chance that should have resulted in equaliser.

6 Ritchie: A threat at times in the first half. Faded after the break.

5 Murphy: Struggled to get into the game. Failed to make the most of a first half one-on-one counter.

7 Isak: Looked sharp considering long lay-off. Denied by superb Dawson save early on. Replaced at half-time.

Substitutes:

5 Wood (for Isak, 46): Missed glorious late chance

6 Willock (for Anderson, 60): Got in and around the box but didn’t fall for him.
