How did the players fare in Newcastle United's 2-1 win over Tottenham?


NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):

7 Pope: Should have done better with the Spurs goal, but made four crucial saves from long-range efforts

7 Livramento: Kept Odobert quiet and got forward effectively down the right when the opportunity allowed

8 Krafth: Has slotted in superbly in the absence of the suspended Schar – made a series of crucial blocks

8 BURN: Was extremely unfortunate that an own goal blotted an otherwise superb defensive performance

8 Kelly: Defended well, set up Barnes’ goal and came close with a second-half shot that was saved

6 Longstaff: Put in a characteristically committed shift in midfield, but might have used the ball better on occasion

7 Guimaraes: Another all-action display from Newcastle’s new skipper – his commitment levels set the tone for the rest of the team

8 Joelinton: Superb once again at the heart of midfield, with his turn and pass to release Murphy changing the game

6 Gordon: Quiet for long periods, and looked happier when switched back to the left in the second half

7 Isak: Wasted a good opportunity when he broke clear, but was in the right place at the right time to score the winner

7 Barnes: Justified his promotion to the starting side with a superb finish to open the scoring


Subs:

7 J Murphy (for Barnes, 61): Showed commendable composure as he slid the ball across for Isak to score

6 Tonali (for Longstaff, 68): A relatively quiet return to Premier League action for the Italian midfielder

6 Hall (for Kelly, 68): Helped Newcastle’s defence hold things together in the closing stages

Almiron (for Gordon, 90)

Vicario 6; PORRO 7, Dragusin 6, Romero 6, Udogie 6; Sarr 6 (Johnson 46, 6), Bissouma 6 (Bentancur 82); Kulusevski 5, Maddison 6 (Bergvall 82), Odobert 4 (Werner 74); Son 5.

Man Of The Match: DAN BURN – He might have scored an own goal, but the centre-half was outstanding as Newcastle’s defence held firm amid considerable pressure.
