Newcastle player ratings v Southampton: 26-year-old facing the axe after horror show
DeAndre Yedlin – 6
A lucky, lucky man.
Having received a yellow card in the first half, he probably should have been making his way back to the dressing room before the hour mark.
A wild tackle saw him wipe out one of the Southampton players, which should have seen a second yellow and even possibly a straight red.
Still, he remained thanks to some leniency/charity shown by referee Kevin Friend, and the rest of his performance was reasonable.
He offered a constant attacking threat down the right flank, looking to terrorise the Saints with his pace, and his defensive performance was equally as solid – when he was not taking out the opposition.
