Gabriel Martinelli (RW) - 5/10 - Struggled to beat his man in one-on-one situations and wasn't able to deliver on point when crossing into the box. Forced off in the first half with a hamstring issue.

Kai Havertz (ST) - 5/10 - Actually thought he started okay up against three man mountains in the Newcastle defence. However, his performance got more clumsy as it went on. Offered close to no threat.

Leandro Trossard (LW) - 5/10 - Tried to wind Kieran Trippier up a bit, but that was about it.
