NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):

7 Dubravka: Didn’t really have to make a standout save, but successfully dealt with a series of dangerous balls into the box

8 Livramento: Did his defensive job superbly against both Werner and the second-half substitute, Son

7 Botman: Was beaten by Solanke for Spurs’ early goal, but was excellent from that point onwards as he returned to the side

8 BURN: Came out on top of his physical battle with Solanke – repelled a series of attacks in the second half

7 Hall: It wasn’t a day when he was able to express himself in attack,  but he was rock solid against Johnson

8 Guimaraes: Was the best midfielder on the pitch, putting out fires in a defensive capacity and driving Newcastle on

8 Tonali: Another impressive midfield from the Italian, who helped Newcastle retain control of the game in the closing stages

7 Joelinton: Was his usual mix of energy, commitment and crunching challenges – a big factor in his side’s win

7 Murphy: Delivered another lively display down the right, delivering the cross that led to Isak’s goal

7 Isak: Displayed a poacher’s instinct to score for the seventh league game in a row

7 Gordon: Took his early goal superbly and made a series of dangerous breaks in the opening hour – was tiring by the time he was replaced


Subs:

Barnes (for Gordon, 78)

Willock (for Isak, 85)

Longstaff (for Murphy, 85)

Kelly (for Botman, 90+2)

(not used): Vlachodimos (gk), Trippier, Miley, Almiron, Osula.


Man Of The Match: DAN BURN – The centre-half has had an excellent week – superb at Old Trafford, he was every bit as good again here.
