Newcastle United lost 4-2 to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium - here are the player ratings from the match.
Eddie Howe made two changes from the side that drew 3-3 with Liverpool with Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali dropping to the bench in place of Harvey Barnes and Sean Longstaff.
Brentford took the lead after eight minutes as Bryan Mbeumo cut inside and found the right corner of the goal with his left foot to make it 1-0. But The Bees’ lead lasted just a few minutes as Alexander Isak made it 1-1 as he headed Jacob Murphy’s effort into the goal.
Isak squandered a golden opportunity to put Newcastle in front shortly after as he rounded Brentford’s Mark Flekken but delayed getting a shot away, allowing the goalkeeper to recover and tip the ball away.
Brentford went ahead again through Yoane Wissa after Harvey Barnes conceded possession cheaply in midfield.
Barnes then redeemed himself with a fine finish to make it 2-2 with just half an hour played. That’s how the scoreline stayed as the sides went in level at half-time.
Brentford almost went ahead again early in the second half but Nick Pope was able to tip Wissa’s deflected strike onto the post. Nathan Collins then put the hosts in front after Newcastle failed to deal with a lofted free-kick 10 minutes after the restart.
The Magpies made changes to try and find a third equaliser but Brentford found a fourth late on through Kevin Schade to claim their first ever Premier League win over Newcastle.

9. Jacob Murphy - 7
Played a key role in the Newcastle's first and second equalisers with two assists. Heavily involved and headed over a good chance. Withdrawn on the hour mark. | Getty Images

10. Alexander Isak - 6
Quickly drew Newcastle level with an instinctive headed finish. Should have made it 2-1 shortly after but was denied by a recovering Mark Flekken. Inconsistent in front of goal in that respect and faded in the second half. | Getty Images

11. Harvey Barnes - 6
Gave the ball away cheaply in midfield in the build-up to Brentford's second. Made up for his error with his fifth goal of the season shortly after with a great finish. Put a teasing ball in for Jacob Murphy, who couldn't convert. Curled a shot wide of the right post in the second half and was moved out to the right after Anthony Gordon's introduction. | Getty Images

12. Sandro Tonali - 5
On for Joelinton 60: Headed a good opportunity over in the closing stages. | Getty Images
