NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):

7 Dubravka: Had very little to do, but made an important first-half stop when he was quick off his line to deny Szmodics

7 Livramento: Didn’t give Davis a sniff down Ipswich’s left and made some effective forward forays

7 Schar: Very solid defensively and helped set up the first-minute opener with a great long pass

7 Burn: Kept the Ipswich attack quiet and used the ball effectively when he had it

8 Hall: Another eye-catching display full of driving attacking runs and inviting crosses

8 Guimaraes: Is getting better and better in his new role – almost scored with a second-half header that hit the post

8 Tonali: Continues to ooze class in his new deep-lying role – did the defensive side of the game very well

7 Willock: Made a pleasing return to the starting side in place of Joelinton – almost scored in the second half

9 Murphy: A brilliant attacking display that saw him score with a fine finish and set up two of Isak’s goals

9 ISAK: Maintained his rich vein of form with an excellent hat-trick – can currently claim to be the most in-form striker in the league

7 Gordon: Enjoyed the chance to run at the Ipswich defence and set up Murphy’s goal

Subs:

6 Trippier (for Livramento, 64): Helped keep things tight in the closing stages

6 Barnes (for Murphy, 64): Almost scored with a shot that flew over

6 Longstaff (for Willock, 64): Was able to cruise through the final half-hour

Almiron (for Isak, 73)

Miley (for Guimaraes, 80)

(not used): Vlachodimos (gk), Targett, Kelly, Osula.
