Newcastle United lost 1-0 at Luton Town on Saturday afternoon - here are the player ratings from the match.
Eddie Howe made three changes to his side that were knocked out of the Carabao Cup at Chelsea on Tuesday night with Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn and Fabian Schar coming back into the side in place of Emil Krafth, Tino Livramento and Sven Botman - who dropped to the bench. Alexander Isak made his return to the matchday squad on the bench after missing the last two matches with a groin issue.
Luton took the lead after 25 minutes with former Newcastle winger Andros Townsend heading in at the back post. Ross Barkley then came close to doubling Luton's lead from distance shortly afterwards only for the crossbar to save Newcastle.
Callum Wilson had Newcastle's best chance of the first half which was saved by Thomas Kaminski in the Luton goal. But The Hatters were able to take their 1-0 lead in at half-time as Newcastle faced another away game without a win.
Shortly after the restart, Jacob Brown saw an angled shot cannon back off the crossbar. At the other end, Bruno Guimaraes curled an effort wide of the right post from a great position.
Alexander Isak had the ball in the net but the flag went up for offside and a VAR check confirmed it was the correct decision as the score remained 1-0 to the hosts.
Newcastle pushed for an equaliser but ultimately ended up falling to a fourth consecutive Premier League away defeat.
