However, once they settled down, Newcastle the better team in the opening half and should have gone into the break two or three goals up.

As it happened, they needed to take just one of those chances, Jacob Murphy crossing for Nick Woltemade to power his header home.

Looking at the individuals in black and white, interesting to get an independent perspective on how this played out.

As you can see, ten players received a rating of 7.0 or more, with seven of them playing for United.

Kieran Trippier getting man of the match, just edging out goalscorer Woltemade, both with a rating of 7.9.

I actually thought Sandro Tonali was easily the best player on the pitch, he was rated third highest along with Fabian Schar and Nick Pope, all of them on 7.5.

Jacob Murphy next on 7.3 and then Dan Burn (7.0) the other to get a rating of 7.0 or higher.
