Newcastle United beat Burnley 2-0 last night.

Miles Starforth dishes out his player ratings below.

Made a good first-half save to deny Barnes, and was there when United needed him 7

Put in a steady performance after being handed a surprise start 7

Netted what will most likely be the best goal scored at St James's Park this season 8

Put in another unfussy performance, led the defence, and team, well 7

So comfortable in United's defence, makes it look easy 7

Opened his Premier League account with a neat finish and put in another flawless performance in midfield 8

Again an ideal foil for Longstaff in midfield, attacked and defended well 7

Used his pace to put Burnley on the back foot early in the game 7

Time and again he delivered dangerous balls from the right 7

Put in a hard-working performance alongside Rondon and Almiron, forging a good understanding with them 7

Didn't get too many chances, but selflessly led the line and brought others into play 7

(for Almiron, 80)

(for Perez, 87)

(for Longstaff, 83)
