Gordon Gets 7.5, Ramsey With 5 | Newcastle United Players Rated In Hard-Fought Win Vs Manchester United

Newcastle United entertained Manchester United at St. James’ Park earlier tonight as they looked to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Magpies made a solid start to the game but found themselves a man down in the latter stages of the first half as Jacob Ramsey was given his marching orders by the referee. However, Anthony Gordon scored from the penalty spot in injury-time before Casemiro equalised for the visitors. The two teams went into the half-time interval with a 1-1 scoreline.

Eddie Howe’s ten men put in a valiant performance in the second half and managed to score the winner in the 90th minute when William Osula got his name on the scoresheet. The match finished with Newcastle earning a hard-fought 2-1 win at St. James’ Park.

Let’s take a look at how each Newcastle United player performed during the contest against the Red Devils.

Ramsdale made his fair share of saves during the game and did well to limit the opposition to just one goal.

RB: Kieran Trippier – 7.5/10

He performed his defensive duties well and was a strong presence in the air.

CB: Malick Thiaw – 7/10

Thiaw gave a good account of himself on the defensive third of the pitch.

CB: Dan Burn – 7/10

He put his foot through the ball when he could and did well to keep the opposition attackers frustrated for most of the game.
