Kieran Trippier 7/10
Making his 150th Premier League start and much improved after dreadful show at Wolves last week. Link-up with Almiron impressive again. Switched flanks in second half due to Burn injury and was equallShow more
Fabian Schar 8/10

In thick of action for entire game. Surging runs, great passing, dragged one shot wide of target but then lucky to avoid punishment for thumping Jorginho round the head with his arm. Finally picked upShow more
Joelinton 7/10
Involved in game’s key moment when he beat Gabriel to header in box before Gordon scored which VAR decided was not a foul. Usual powerhouse in midfield and celebrated one late tackle like a goal. EPA
Miguel Almiron 7/10
Relentless running at both ends of pitch epitomises everything good about Eddie Howe’s side. Enjoys great partnership with Trippier down Newcastle right and pace always a danger. AFP
Anthony Gordon 7/10

Ben White 7/10

Bukayo Saka 5/10
Very quiet first half when he was well marked by Burn. Then up against Trippier after break and got no joy out of his England teammate either. PA
