It ended Newcastle 2 Brentford 1.

A great performance from a character perspective.

Following up that brilliant Wembley display when they dominated Liverpool.

United making it three victories in a row on Wednesday night but needing grit to get them over the line.

Alexander Isak scoring just before the break and an outrageous Sandro Tonali winner from an almost impossible angle.

Looking at the individuals in black and white, interesting to get an independent perspective on how this played out.

‘Whoscored ratings use data from every single Premier League match, over 200 raw statistics included in the automated calculation of a player’s rating, weighted according to their influence within the game.

Every event of importance is taken into account, with a positive or negative effect on ratings weighted in relation to its area on the pitch and its outcome.’

Now whoscored have published their automated player ratings for this Newcastle 2 Brentford 1 match:

As you can see, nine players received a rating of 7.0 or more, with eight of them playing for NUFC.

A ‘little’ generous to have such an imbalance between the two teams.

However, no arguments against the fact that Sandro Tonali (7.8) was clearly man of the match.

Harvey Barnes (7.6) played well and along with goalscorer (7.6) were next highest rated.

Then fourth highest was Kieran Trippier (7.5), who was excellent I thought.
