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;

6 Perez: Unable to cause the problems to score for the second week in a row

9 RONDON: Offered the sort of striker performance that Newcastle have been crying out for
