NEWCASTLE UNITED (4-1-4-1):

6 Sels: Didn’t have much to do but when he was required he was switched on

8 Anita: Has really made the right-back role his own and even has a song about him now

6 Mbemba: Not completely convincing in possession but was solid and made his fair share of blocks

7 Lascelles: The Derby-born former Nottingham Forest defender looked desperate to do well and he did

6 Dummett: Got up and down to help with the attacks and made sure it was hard for Russell;

6 Colback: Protected the back four with his strong running and broke things up regularly;

8 Ritchie: Faded in the second half but looks like a winger playing with plenty confidence

6 Diame: Could have scored before his withdrawal, and otherwise he was solid without dominating things

7 Shelvey: A better first half than second but still impressive and had a part to play in both goals

8 GOUFFRAN: Another hard-working display down the flank only this time he was rewarded with a stunning goal;

5 Gayle: Kept probing and running but found it hard to get much change out of Keogh and Shackell.

Subs:

Yedlin (for Gouffran 72)

Perez (for Gayle 76)

Hayden (for Diame 87)

Not used: Darlow (gk), Clark, Mitrovic, Lazaar.

MAN OF THE MATCH: Yoan Gouffran – is clearly enjoying a new lease of life in the side and his goal was of the highest quality.
