NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):

7 Schar: Defended well and sparked the turnaround with a deflected long-range strike

6 Joelinton: Worked hard enough at the heart of midfield in the first half, but was taken off at half-time

6 Murphy: Carried a threat down the flank as Newcastle rallied to claim all three points

5 Isak: Started brightly, but was already a fading force before he went down at the end of the first half
