Newcastle United player ratings as monster 8/10 display scoops man of the match while others fade out

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe had his defensive stars to thank for emerging with a point at Selhurst Park - but despite failing to manage a shot on target the Magpies came close to winning this one.

Newcastle took the lead on 52 minutes when a well-worked free-kick saw Lewis Hall roll the ball to Sandro Tonali who picked out Anthony Gordon on the right-hand side of the area before his shot from a tight angle was bundled into his own net by Marc Guehi! Despite not managing a shot on target, Newcastle had their hands on a vital victory but they were denied late on.

Palace clawed back the equaliser in the 94th minute as Guehi's cross fell for Daniel Munoz who rammed home to make it 1-1. Here's how United's stars rated overall at Selhurst Park:

Nick Pope 8

Thought he'd done enough to earn the victory with a string of good stops as he faced 16 goal attempts. Great save to deny Sarr in the first half.

Tino Livramento 7

Some important clearances and interceptions.

Fabian Schar 7

Could not have done much more with key blocks and clearances throughout.

Dan Burn 8

A colossal performance as he blocked and swept clear time after time. The Blyth lad deserved to be on the winning side. Man of the match.

Lewis Hall 7

Looked comfortable for the most part and had a big part in the opener. Had 81 touches in all.

Bruno Guimaraes 6

Cut a frustrated figure at the end. Recovered from a shaky first half.

Sandro Tonali 8

Another who deserved to be on the winning side after a polished midfield display.

Joe Willock 6

Struggled to overcome first half knocks.

Joelinton 7

Some big moments and made five clearances in a much improved display.

Anthony Gordon 7

Battled through a knock to help created the opener. Ran out of steam.

Alexander Isak 5

Just three touches before going off with a heavy whack.

Sub

Harvey Barnes 6 (for Isak 21)

Shoved to his weaker side and faded after good start.

Callum Wilson 5 (for Gordon 75)

Eight touches and a yellow card.

Sean Longstaff 6 (for Willock 75)

Sent on to try to help Newcastle see out the game.
