Newcastle United beat Urawa Red Diamonds 4-1 at the Saitama Stadium in Japan - here are the player ratings from the match.
Alexander Isak opened the scoring inside the opening two minutes with a fine finish from the edge of the box. It was the Swede’s third goal in as many pre-season outings so far. A Jacob Murphy brace and a strike from Lewis Hall
Rio Nitta then drew the hosts level with a close-range finish from Yusuke Matsuo’s low cross into the box. Urawa then had a great opportunity to take the lead after Tino Livramento’s foul on the edge of the box was deemed to be a penalty.
Tomoaki Okubo stepped up and saw his spot-kick saved by Nick Pope - who continued his impressive pre-season form since returning from a long-term shoulder injury.
Nitta almost scored again in the build-up to half-time after dispossessing Lewis Hall but was denied by a stunning save from Pope.
After a strong start to the match from Newcastle, Urawa had grown back into the match in the hot and humid conditions. Still it was The Magpies who ended the half the stronger with Harvey Barnes seeing a shot saved by goalkeeper Ayumi Niekawa before Joe Willock set up Jacob Murphy to make it 2-1 on the stroke of half-time.
Murphy then made it 3-1 shortly after half-time with a composed finish into the bottom left corner. Lewis Hall made it 4-1 with an effort from distance that deflected heavily into the bottom right corner.
Then the second-half substitutes followed as Newcastle saw out a convincing friendly win with a young side.

9. Jacob Murphy - 8
His irresistible pre-season form continues. Despite a quiet first-half, still managed to score once again with a composed finish. Made it 3-1 after the break with another smart finish - his fourth in three pre-season matches. | Getty Images
10. Harvey Barnes - 6
Had a chance to double Newcastle's lead after a few minutes but his effort was cleared off the line. Will have been disappointed not to have found the net on that occasion. Saw another effort deflect just wide and another saved. Heavily involved but ought to have scored at least once given his finishing ability. | Getty Images
11. Alexander Isak - 7
Won the ball back well and finished with aplomb to give Newcastle an early lead. Had a couple other chances but couldn't convert. | Getty Images
12. Jamie Miley - 7
On for Longstaff 46: Was positive with a progressive pass up field with his first touch of the ball. Assisted Jacob Murphy to make it 3-1. Faded slightly after an initially bright introduction and moved out to right back for the closing stages. | Getty Images
