NEWCASTLE UNITED (4-4-2):
7 Dubravka: Made a number of saves to prevent the Cherries from scoring more;
7 Yedlin: Had his work cut out in trying to contain Fraser but kept going and created the opener
7 Schar: Guilty of conceding the free-kick for the goal but otherwise defended strongly
8 Fernandez: A calming influence at the back and kept getting in the way of things
7 Dummett: Played with his heart on his sleeve to lead by example;
7 Ritchie: Sent over some lovely crosses and had a part to play in opener
6 Diame: Covered the grass in the middle without ever hitting the heights he can
7 Ki: At the centre of a lot of his team’s play
7 Kenedy: Sent over a brilliant cross for Rondon’s second and turned in a strong performance;
