It ended Newcastle 2 Spurs 0.
A very good team performance and despite eight changes, the quality and flow of the team remained.
Eddie Howe’s side have recorded five wins in their last six games in all competitions.
I think everyone has contributed to this performance and result as United now play Fulham at St James’ Park in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Fabian Schar headed in Sandro Tonali’s corner in the first half, after which Nick Woltemade grabbed his seventh goal for Newcastle United when he headed in after Joe Willock’s perfect cross.
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 Newcastle 2 Spurs match:
(The Whoscored display can only show four subs at a time, Joelinton has a rating of 6.1)
As you can see, ten players were rated 7.0 or higher, nine of whom played for United!
The automated assessments make Fabian Schar (8.5) man of the match on his return to the team. He reminded us what class he is, his defense and his excellent passing, plus that important goal tonight to get things going.
Aaron Ramsdale (8.2) made a couple of good saves and one that was absolutely world class, putting him in second place in these automated ratings.
Sandro Tonali (8.1) right behind the keeper, while he was in charge on his return to the starting line-up.
