Newcastle United player ratings: Sub ‘pushing for a start’ after lively cameo v Crystal Palace
Newcastle United were held to a goalless draw against Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon - but how did the players fare?
After a goalless first half, Newcastle had an own goal controversially disallowed by VAR.
The Magpies had a few chances to win the game late on but Palace were able to hold on for a point.
Here are how the Newcastle United players rated in the match...
1. Nick Pope - 8
Was alert to hold Zaha’s shot early on and made a fine reaction save to deny Mateta on the turn. Another very good performance between the sticks.
2. Kieran Trippier - 8
Let little past him down the right and put in a number of good balls into the box that unfortunately couldn’t be converted.
3. Fabian Schar - 8
Won some important battles at the back and dealt with the physical presence of Mateta well.
