West Ham 1-1 Newcastle United highlights: as Magpies secure vital point

[ad_1]

NUFC player ratingsMartin Dubravka 8

A superb first half save to deny Bowen as he tipped it on to the bar. Faced 11 shots in all. Solid.

Emil Krafth 7

Will be annoyed after conceding free-kick that led to set-piece goal for West Ham. Other than that put in a tidy display.

Fabian Schar 8

Worked hard to carry the ball forward. Some big moments in the second half

Dan Burn 8

Slight blip to let Dawson get across him for the equaliser but was fantastic in every other sense. Some monster tackles, not least the full blooded challenge on Bowen which had the away end on their feet in stoppage time.

Matt Target 8

It is incredible that Aston Villa let a player of such talent leave on loan. Very comfortable and always reliable on the ball. Put in a dozen crosses.

Jonjo Shelvey 8

The captain led by example. Nicking the ball in middle and showing a good variation of long and short passes.

Joe Willock 9

A tireless shift and netted the equaliser. So close to grabbing a second.

Joelinton 8

Another important display in the middle.

Ryan Fraser 8

Ran himself into the ground – quite literally.

The battling Scot also provided the cross that led to the goal and put in a defensive shift too. Only taken off after picking up yellow card late on. Just pipped by Willock for man of the match award.

Jacob Murphy 7

A good effort but will feel he can improve on this.

Chris Wood 7

Made some important contributions aerially but never looked like scoring. Didn’t have a shot.

Subs

Miguel Almiron (for Fraser 79)

Bruno Guimaraes (for Willock 87)

*Subs must play 15 minutes to gain a mark
