Newcastle player ratings v Swansea: Attackers chalk and cheese as one man has 5/10 shocker
Substitutes
Joselu (63′) – 5: Replacing Gayle up front after his counterpart’s disappointing show in front of goal, his introduction had the desired effect. Worked hard to save Perez’s deflected shot before turning and slotting a shot just past the far post.
Mikel Merino (82′) – 6: Dropped from the starting XI in favour of Merino and Hayden, the midfield maestro was brought on in the second half to try and inject some life into a lacklustre performance. His passing helped the Magpies build attacks quicker but he was not enough to find a way through the resolute backline of the visitors.
In other Newcastle United news, the club are set for imminent talks over the bargain capture of a youth hot shot.
