The striker will obviously take the headlines but how did the rest of the Magpies players perform on the afternoon? Liam Kennedy takes a look at the players’ who stood out and ones who didn’t.
Isaac Hayden, Jeff Hendrick and Miguel Almiron come in for some particular praise, as well as, of course, the the Magpies’ main man Wilson...
1. Karl Darlow - 6
A really shaky start for the Magpies but has settled into it with a strong second half performance for the Magpies. Photo: Clive Brunskill
2. Javier Manquillo - 7
Offered a real threat down the right. Brought the required width to side with Hendrick tucked inside further forward. Photo: DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS
3. Fabian Schar - 8
His defensive work can often be questioned but this was a real solid performance from the Swiss. A leader at the back. Photo: Alex Pantling
4. Jamaal Lascelles - 6
After an early booking is walking a tightrope and then picked up an injury in the second period. Photo: Clive Brunskill
