It ended Newcastle 2 Manchester City 1.
A very good team performance and United fully deserve the win.
Eddie Howe’s team recorded six wins in a row at home.
Two composed Harvey Barnes finishes won the match and it could and should have been a bigger winning margin as Newcastle created many great chances.
Looking at the individuals in black and white, it’s interesting to get an independent perspective on how this turned out.
‘Whoscored ratings use data from every single Premier League match, over 200 raw statistics included in the automated calculation of a player’s rating, weighted by their influence within the game.
“Every major event is taken into account, with any positive or negative impact on viewing figures weighed in relation to the area of the pitch and its outcome.”
Now who scored have published their automated player ratings for this match Newcastle 2 Manchester City 1:
As you can see, six players were rated 7.0 or higher, four of which played for United.
The automated ratings made Harvey Barnes (8.2) man of the match after his two goals won the match
Bruno Guimares (7.2) was the second highest and performed excellently, including setting up the two goals.
While Nick Woltemade (7.0) and Jacob Murphy (7.0) were rated as the next best NUFC players.
Sometimes the automated ratings struggle to reflect reality and I think this was a day where all the starting XI deserved at least a 7.0, especially bizarre that no one from the defense got a decent rating, especially when the free-scoring Haaland was kept so quiet.
