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.
5. Dan Burn - 6
Squandered a good opportunity following a corner. Defended well when needed.
6. Bruno Guimaraes - 7
Provided Newcastle’s creative bright spark and tried to make things happen.
7. Sean Longstaff - 5
Struggled to get involved in the first half but improved in the second as Newcastle pushed forward. Should have scored just after the hour mark but failed to hit the target. Skied a shot shortly after following some good work by Almiron. Squandered another opportunity in the closing stages - an afternoon to forget in an attacking sense.
8. Joe Willock - 6
Saw plenty of the ball moving forward as his pace caused Leeds problems but wasn’t able to make it count.
