The Magpies ended the game with just ten men as Fabian Schar, Javier Manquillo, Jetro Willems and Jonjo Shelvey all went off in 10 mad minutes either side of half-time. But how did the players rate in the loss? Our Newcastle United writer Liam Kennedy has dished out his marks...
9. Allan Saint-Maximin - 7
When he's hot, he's hot but when he's cold... Another game with flashes of brilliance and moments of madness with the ball. Photo: Ian MacNicol
10. Miguel Almiron - 8
Answered his critics with a first assist in an all-action performance. To think people were calling for his head... Photo: Stu Forster
11. Joelinton - 5
Looks a shadow of the player from the summer and start of season. Lacking confidence but also lacking basic striker instinct. Gets little service but does himself no favours with a lack of movement and running. Photo: Stu Forster
12. Dwight Gayle - 7
(for Joelinton 69) Instantly injected something into the game. Photo: Stu Forster
