Newcastle United entertained Manchester City at St. James’ Park earlier this evening as they hoped to earn a good result at home in the Premier League. The Magpies made a solid start to the contest and managed to get to the half-time break with a 0-0 scoreline.
Harvey Barnes gave Newcastle the lead in the 64th minute before Ruben Dias equalised for Man City just four minutes later. Barnes scored again for the home team in the 70th minute as Eddie Howe’s men ended up securing a hard-fought 2-1 win in front of their home fans.
Let’s take a look at how each Newcastle United player fared during the match against Man City.

CB: Malick Thiaw – 6.5/10
Thiaw dealt with the danger when needed and was a rock at the back.

Tonali caught the eye at times with his performance in the middle of the park.
CM: Joelinton – 6.5/10
