The Arsenal loan man popped up with another goal to earn Steve Bruce’s Magpies another point against Liverpool in a forgettable week for the Premier League champions.
Are United safe now – or do they need a little more? Only time will tell – but here’s Liam Kennedy’s player ratings from Anfield.
9. Miguel Almiron - 5
Not at all impressed by this performance. Plenty of running but really needs to get his head up at times. Spoiled a perfectly good ASM through ball for Joelinton. And while he covered the yards, he was poor with the ball. Photo: Clive Brunskill
10. Joelinton - 6
Needs to be much quicker in his movements, slowed things down at crucial points. But was far from his worst show. Photo: Clive Brunskill
11. Allan Saint-Maximin - 7
In the first half he was a real livewire for Newcastle on the break – and Liverpool knew it, having tried to kick him out of the game. A tactical switch saw his threat totally nullified by Jurgen Klopp. Photo: PAUL ELLIS
12. Callum Wilson - 6
(for Joelinton 60) A lot of running but maybe tried too hard to make an impact. To be fair, almost did but for a daft handball rule. Photo: DAVID KLEIN
