Newcastle United v Leeds half-time player ratings: ‘Energetic’ 7/10 and ‘wasteful’ 6/10 - gallery
Newcastle United are drawing 0-0 with Leeds United at half-time at St James’s Park - here are out player ratings.
Newcastle went another first half without conceding, a run stretching back until August as they kept Leeds at bay for the opening 45 minutes. The Magpies had a few half chances to take the lead but were ultimately unable to take advantage.
Eddie Howe’s side are hoping to make it 12 games unbeaten and secure a seventh straight Premier League win in the second half.

1. Nick Pope - 7
Was quick off his line to cut out some promising Leeds opportunities. Made a good save to deny Rodrigo in the second half.

2. Kieran Trippier - 6
Booked after tactically stopping a Leeds counter attack. His deliveries were inconsistent as some created good opportunities while others were easily dealt with.

3. Fabian Schar - 7
Headed wide from a Trippier corner in the first half and saw an effort saved in the second. Was disappointed not to be awarded a penalty after storming forward.

4. Sven Botman - 7
Made several good blocks and interceptions. Had a good chance to score too.
