9. Miguel Almiron - 9
Put away his chance superbly for the first goal after some very good work to evade his marker. Booked for removing his shirt after scoring. Substituted in the 76th minute in what was his best performance for Newcastle. Photo: Stu Forster
10. Chris Wood - 6
Held the ball up well but struggled to link the play at times. Didn’t have a chance at goal the whole game. Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY
