Emi Martinez

Might feel he should have done better with the goal, which went through his legs. Made up for it with some very good distribution.

Kicking 7

Matty Cash

Did a decent job of shackling Harvey Barnes for most of the day and then Anthony Gordon. A decent attacking outlet too.

Busy 8

Ezri Konsa

Guilty of playing Schar onside for the Newcastle leveller but that was the only blip in another impressive performance.

Solid 7

Tyrone Mings

Won several big headers and together with Konsa helped to render Alexander Isak a spectator. A rock at the back.

Imperious 8
