Barnes And Guimaraes Get 7 | Newcastle United Players Rated In Poor Loss Vs Brentford | OneFootball

Newcastle United clashed heads with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Magpies made a good start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 27th minute when Harvey Barnes scored with a great finish. Eddie Howe’s men went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.

Kevin Schade equalised for the Bees in the 56th minute. Dan Burn was sent off by the referee in the 73rd minute before Igor Thiago scored from the penalty spot just five minutes later. Thiago scored again in injury time as the contest ended with Newcastle suffering a poor 3-1 loss away from home.

Let’s take a look at how each Newcastle United player fared during the clash against Brentford.

Pope made a few solid saves at the back but would be disappointed after conceding the equaliser in the 56th minute.

RB: Kieran Trippier – 5.5/10

He failed to keep things solid at the back and was lackluster going forward.

CB: Malick Thiaw – 7/10

Thiaw cleared the danger when he could and won his fair share of aerial duels.

CB: Sven Botman – 6/10

He made a lot of crucial clearances inside his half but failed to keep the Brentford attackers quiet in the second half.
