FIRST-HALF RATINGS
NICK POPE........................................ 8
Made some important blocks as 1860 created a series of chances. Had Newcastle fans chanting “England’s number 1” after tipping away Kobylanski’s dangerous free-kick.
EMIL KRAFTH................................. 7
A couple of good runs forward and a decent cross for Saint-Maximin late in the opening period.
JAMAAL LASCELLES................... 6
Was caught in possession a couple of times and picked up a yellow card in a tough half.
DAN BURN....................................... 7
A steady enough performance from the big centre-back. Couldn’t get on the end of any corners.
MATT TARGETT............................... 7
Some important early interventions from the £15million man from Villa.
JACOB MURPHY.............................. 6
Some decent plays overall. Picked out Shelvey with quick thinking from a free-kick.
JOE WILLOCK.................................. 6
Recovered from a collision after Stefan Lex tangled with him in the first half. Didn’t get on the end of anything.
JONJO SHELVEY............................. 7
Trying to pick holes in German side’s defence. A solid workout.
ELLIOT ANDERSON........................ 7
Lively enough and has linked up well with Saint-Maximin. A decent audition in front of Eddie Howe.
ALLAN SAINT-MAXIMIN............... 6
At least forced the keeper into a save with a back-post header. Some decent play down the left but not at his best.
CALLUM WILSON............................ 6
Full of running but hasn’t really had a clear-cut chance. At least has 45 minutes in the tank.
