Newcastle player ratings v West Brom: Attacker will never play for Benitez again in 4/10 display

Forwards

Ayoze Perez – 6: A run of good form always has to come to an end and that was the case for Perez on Saturday. His performance certainly was not up to what has been expected in recent weeks as he struggled to make an impact. His direct running did threaten at times but there was no end product.

Dwight Gayle – 5: Back into the starting XI after being dropped against Everton for Islam Slimani, last season’s top scorer was looking to break a streak of six games without a goal. It did not happen though as he was starved of any sort of chances, West Brom’s defence limiting any and all service coming his way.
