NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):

7 Dubravka: Wasn’t overly-extended, but made an important first-half save as he clawed Muniz’s shot around the post

8 Trippier: Put in a real shift before hobbling off in the closing stages – his deliveries helped set up both of Newcastle’s goals

7 Schar: Dealt with Fulham’s attacking threat and was calm and composed when he had the ball at his feet

8 BOTMAN: Made a series of tackles and blocks to keep Fulham at bay and set up Burn’s goal with a header that was saved

7 Burn: Prevented Fulham from creating much down their right and was in the right place to score his side’ second

7 Miley: Delivered an energetic display on the left of Newcastle’s midfield and kept the ball well in tight spaces

6 Guimaraes: Started slowly as he conceded possession in the first half, but improved in the second period

8 Longstaff: Drove Newcastle forward from his midfield position and produced an excellent finish to break the deadlock

6 Murphy: Wasted an early chance by shooting straight at Rodak, but worked hard on his return from a two-month absence

6 Isak: Didn’t see a lot of the ball, but counter-attacked effectively and tested Rodak with a powerful second-half strike

7 Gordon: Stretched the Fulham defence as he broke in the second half and was always a useful ‘out ball’ for his side


Subs:

Livramento (for Murphy, 75)

Krafth (for Trippier, 86)

Ritchie (for Gordon, 90+4)

(not used): Karius (gk), Dummett, Hall, A Murphy, Hernes, Parkinson.


Man Of The Match: SVEN BOTMAN – The Newcastle centre-half was back to his best as he shut down a series of Fulham attacks.
