BIG MATCH RATINGS

NEWCASTLE UNITED v CRYSTAL PALACE

LEE RYDER rates the Magpies in their 2-0 defeat at Selhurst Park

Martin Dubravka ................. 7

Left totally exposed and was furious with his defence as they crumbled to their knees..

Jacob Murphy ..................... 4

A tough night. Struggled to cope with the dual roles and did not manage a cross.

Emil Krafth 4 ...................... 4

Unable to cope with Palace’s lively attack. A gift of clearance to help hand Palace the lead.

Fabian Schar ....................... 6

Started off in relative control with a couple of good blocks. Slipping and sliding after the break. And lost his cool with Andersen.

Dan Burn ............................ 6

An assured showing in the first half but struggled badly after the break.

Elliot Anderson ................... 7

One of the better performers on the night. Looked far from happy with his team-mates as Palace picked holes.

Sean Longstaff .................... 6

Had a penalty shout after going over in the box. Started OK but fizzled out before being taken off.

Bruno Guimaraes ................. 6

A couple of decent passes in the first half. When Newcastle needed something after the break he couldn’t deliver.

Anthonygordon .................. 6

At least offered a threat.

Harvey Barnes .................... 4

His night did not get off to a good start after failing to make the most of an opening. And it went downhill from there.

Alexander Isak .................... 7

Looked more lively after break.
