Newcastle United are drawing 0-0 with Fulham in the Premier League at St James' Park - here are the player ratings from the match so far.
Eddie Howe made two changes from the side that lost 2-1 to AC Milan on Wednesday night with Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff coming into the side for Lewis Miley and the suspended Kieran Trippier. The Magpies went into the game hoping to end a run of three consecutive defeats in all competitions.
Newcastle were boosted by the return of Sven Botman on the bench but Alexander Isak was absent with a groin issue. And just 15 minutes into the game, Fabian Schar pulled up with a hamstring issue that forced him off.
But Fulham were hit by a serious blow shortly afterwards as Raul Jimenez was shown a straight red card following a VAR check for a reckless high challenge at Sean Longstaff. Joelinton was the next player to suffer an injury for The Magpies as he was forced off in the first-half.
Despite their man advantage, Newcastle were unable to break the deadlock in the opening 45 minutes as the sides went in at 0-0.
Here are the half-time player ratings from the match so far (ratings updated at full-time)...
5. Dan Burn - 8
A welcome return to the starting line-up but has had to slot in at centre-back due to Schar's injury. A strong presence and put his body on the line to block a Harry Wilson effort. Marked his return to the starting line-up with a goal. | Getty Images
6. Joelinton - 6
Gifted Fulham a big chance before going off injured shortly after. Was doing well before that. | AFP via Getty Images
7. Bruno Guimaraes - 8
At the heart of everything Newcastle tried to do. Had a couple of efforts from the edge of the box and his tenacious driving run led to the opening goal. Set up Dan Burn late on with a sensational cross with the outside of his foot. | AFP via Getty Images
8. Sean Longstaff - 7
Had a good chance after being set-up by Livramento. Also was on the receiving end of a strange challenge from Jiminez that saw the Fulham man sent off. Kept things ticking over well in the midfield as Newcastle made their man advantage count in the second half. | Getty Images
