West Ham United 0-0 Newcastle United player ratings: Here’s how Alexander Isak, Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and co fared.
Newcastle United are drawing 0-0 with West Ham United at the London Stadium on Monday evening - here are the player ratings from the match.
Eddie Howe made three changes to his side that were beaten 2-1 against Brighton & Hove Albion last time out in the FA Cup. Nick Pope returned in goal while Bruno Guimaraes came in for Lewis Miley and Jacob Murphy replaced the suspended Anthony Gordon.
Tomas Soucek almost opened the scoring for West Ham in the opening minute but blazed his shot over the bar. Harvey Barnes twice came close for Newcastle in the first half but was denied by Alphonse Areola on both occasions as the sides went in goalless at half-time.
Here are the Newcastle United player ratings from the match so far (ratings updated at full-time)...
Nick Pope - 6
Returned to the starting line-up after dropping out against Brighton. Almost spilled a simple save from Jarrod Bowen but gathered at the second attempt.
Kieran Trippier - 7
Had a shot that Harvey Barnes turned goalwards. A steady right-back display and did just enough to stop Kudus.
Fabian Schar - 6
Had little to do defensively other than make a few clearances. Struggling to pick out a teammate with long balls forward.
Dan Burn - 5
Misjudged the flight of the ball on a couple of occasions. Gained some composure as the half progressed.
Tino Livramento - 4
Gifted West Ham an opportunity in the opening minute that Tomas Soucek blazed over the bar from close range. Lost possession attempting to bring the ball out which led to a West Ham chance. Got into some decent areas but unable to find the delivery on his weaker foot which resulted in too many attacks ending. Frustrating.
Sandro Tonali - 6
Showed good bursts of energy to carry the ball but lacked the final pass or shot.
Bruno Guimaraes - 6
Tidy on the ball but lacking the cutting edge and intensity to cause any major problems.
Joelinton - 6
Drifted in and out of the game and brought the ball out well for a counter attack but just made the wrong decision in passing to Livramento instead of Barnes.
Jacob Murphy - 5
A quiet opening 45 minutes out on the right.
Harvey Barnes - 6
Saw a great opportunity saved well by Areola. Was denied again by a header shortly afterwards. Newcastle’s biggest threat though that’s not saying much.
Had a couple of bright moments and clever touches but lacked his usual cutting edge.
