Newcastle United player ratings v Arsenal: 9/10 ‘colossus’ and ‘poor’ 4/10 as record set - gallery
Newcastle United drew 0-0 with Arsenal in the Premier League - here are the player ratings from the match
Newcastle kept Arsenal at bay for the first time this season as they made it nine hours without conceding a competitive goal. The result keeps Eddie Howe’s side third in the Premier League as they set an all-time club record for going 13 top flight matches unbeaten in the same season.
Here are the Newcastle player ratings from the match...
1. Nick Pope - 7
Denied Bukayo Saka from a tight angle early on and was alert to stop Martinelli and Nketiah in the second half.
2. Kieran Trippier - 8
Did little wrong down the right as he kept Martinelli contained and posed a threat with his deliveries but his team-mates lacked the movement to connect.
3. Fabian Schar - 7
After a slightly awkward first half in possession, defended well for the most part and made a very important challenge on Martinelli in the second half.
4. Sven Botman - 9
Managed the game well from the back and was a colossus in the air as Arsenal applied the pressure.
