Newcastle player ratings v Arsenal: Speed machine an anonymous bystander in 4/10 display
Substitutes
Matt Ritchie – 6: Dropped after a series of sub-par performances in recent weeks, his arrival coincided with one of Newcastle’s best spells during the match. Saw a vicious effort blaze over the bar in a good position, when he would have been expected to have been testing Petr Cech.
Dwight Gayle – 5: Brought on with 20 minutes to play, he would have been hoping to have had more of an impact than this. Absolutely nothing to show for his display other than a couple of battles with the Arsenal defence.
