Newcastle United 2-2 Luton Town half-time player ratings: Here's how Sean Longstaff, Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes and co fared at St James' Park.

Newcastle United are drawing 2-2 with Luton Town at half-time at St James' Park - here are the player ratings from the match so far.

Eddie Howe made one change to his side that won 3-1 at Aston Villa on Tuesday night with Miguel Almiron coming back into the side in place of the injured Alexander Isak. Newcastle went into the game looking for a third successive win in all competitions and it took them just six minutes to break the deadlock as Sean Longstaff turned in Kieran Trippier's low cross.

Newcastle's lead lasted just 15 minutes as Luton defender Gabriel Osho headed in from a free-kick routine. But Luton would be level for an even shorter period as The Magpies went to the other end and scored through Longstaff once again.

The midfielder rounded-off a swift counter attacking move as Miguel Almiron released Anthony Gordon down the left. Gordon's effort was parried by Thomas Kaminski into the path of Longstaff who finished into the bottom left corner.

Luton then drew level once again with Ross Barkley putting the ball in following a parry from Martin Dubravka as the sides went in 2-2 at the break.
