Hide AdMartin Dubravka - 7
Made his first appearance at St James’s Park since May, had no chance for the goal, played his part in keeping Norwich out

Fabian Schar - 7
Strolled through most of the game, but almost gifted Norwich a late equalised when he lost the ball outside the box
Ciaran Clark - 1
Recalled in place of the suspended Lascelles, got himself in trouble with an awful attempted clearance, and was sent off for pulling Pukki back
