Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle player ratings: Miley excellent in 15 minute spell as Dubravka impresses

Newcastle United ended the season with a 1-1 draw away to Chelsea in a game of two halves.

The Magpies went ahead on this one and scored after just nine minutes after Allan Saint-Maximin played in Elliot Anderson down the left-hand side. The youngster then rolled the ball to Anthony Gordon who tapped home and beat Kepa to stun the home side.

But Chelsea hit back when Raheem Sterling's effort bounced off Kieran Trippier's arm and pulled the teams level. After that Miguel Almiron could have had a couple of goals but has squandered some great chances.

After the break, Chelsea were better but also wasted chances and it was youngster Lewis Miley who came closet to winning it when his late strike hit the bar.

Here's how the players rated overall.

Martin Dubravka 8

Some big saves in the end and showed why he should stay around next season. Man of the match in the end.

Kieran Trippier 7

A little unlucky with the own goal as his clearance bounced off his own arm. Battled hard but lucky to get away with giving late free-kick away.

Fabian Schar 8

A really solid display with eight clearances.

Sven Botman 8

A towering second half display including vital late tackle to deny Felix.

Matt Targett 7

Tasked with stopping Madueke and did it well enough.

Bruno Guimaraes 7

A steady enough display and played through pain barrier.

Elliot Anderson 8

This was another display of genuine promise from the talented Geordie. Composed on the ball and thoughtful with his passing. Finished the season with a Premier League assist.

Anthony Gordon 8

This is a great platform to build off for next season. Went about his business in committed style and popped up with the opener. A good effort.

Miguel Almiron 6

Not his day with a host of missed chances.

Saint-Maximin 7

A big hand in the opening goal to supply the ball for Anderson's assist. Caused other problems before being taken off. Had 40 touches in all with just one cross.

Alexander Isak 7

Led the line well enough.

Subs

Jacob Murphy 6 (for Saint-Maximin 69)

Gave it a go.

Callum Wilson 6 (for Gordon 69)

Didn't get any chances.

Lewis Miley 8 (for Anderson 75)

Walked on to the stage liked he belonged here. Some great touches and almost won it with late fizzer off the bar.

Dan Burn 6 (for Targett 75)

One timely block late on.

Jamal Lewis (for Isak 88)

Here's how the players rated in the first half:

Martin Dubravka 7

Made a couple of good saves but will be disappointed in the way defence switched off for Chelsea equaliser.

Kieran Trippier 7

A little unlucky with the own goal as his clearance bounced off his own arm.

Fabian Schar 7

Has done most things right. A dominant display.

Sven Botman 6

Doing the basics right.

Matt Targett 6

Has started his fair share of attacks in rare start.

Bruno Guimaraes 7

Battling through the pain barrier after knock.

Elliot Anderson 8

Another excellent display with an assist thrown in. A fine cross for Gordon to score.

Anthony Gordon 8

Really grasping his chance with some excellent defensive work in midfield but also his first goal to his name.

Miguel Almiron 6

Working hard but has missed a couple of good chances. Has had five opportunities to score but failed to trouble Kepa.

Saint-Maximin 7

Has looked sharp and has unlocked Chelsea a few times.

Alexander Isak 7

Has been a real handful for Chelsea.
