5. Valentino Lazaro -4
Defensive vulnerabilities very apparent after being at fault for both of Arsenal goals. Shame as he played well in the first-half.... 4 Photo: IAN KINGTON
6. Danny Rose - 5
Not a great first start for Rose at Newcastle. Both full-backs were poor in the second-half - just Lazaro was worse... 5 Photo: Richard Heathcote
7. Nabil Bentaleb - 4
Decent with the ball at his feet but struggled to get around the pitch. Doesn't look fit... 4 Photo: Mark Runnacles
8. Sean Longstaff - 6
Worked hard in the midfield but was again forced to sit back. Much more effective when pushed further forward... 6 Photo: Ian MacNicol
