Leeds United (4-1-4-1)
1 Illan Meslier
Not an enormous amount of work to get through, but his save to deny a rasping Jonjo Shelvey volley in the first half was outstanding. A couple of other close-range stops stood out before an offside flag ruled them out anyway. Will point to an obstructed view when the free-kick flew past him. 6
2 Luke Ayling (c)
Did get himself forward to support attacks, but didn't find himself with the opening to craft anything of note. Did handle Allan Saint-Maximin very, very well. 7
14 Diego Llorente
Another demonstration of why he is the club's best centre-back. Read danger, snuffed it out, retained possession and found teammates in dangerous positions. Battled well when the crosses did come into the box too. 8
21 Pascal Struijk
Did not quite catch the eye as Llorente did, but just as useful and trustworthy in defence. Stood up well to the challenges of Saint-Maximin and Chris Wood. 7
15 Stuart Dallas
Another very solid performance from Dallas, who gave Ryan Fraser nothing all afternoon. 7
5 Robin Koch
Very solid performance from the Germany international as he improves in this deep-lying role. Gave very little change to any of the Newcastle midfielders all afternoon. 7
10 Raphinha
Carried the main attacking threat on the whole, as usual, but didn't provide the cut and thrust needed to really endanger Martin Dubravka's goal. 6
19 Rodrigo
A decent return to the starting line-up for Rodrigo with some decent passing into the final third from deep. Couldn't quite deliver in the most dangerous moments around the box. 5
43 Mateusz Klich
Did well in the first half and provided brilliant attacking support from deep, but vanished in the second half. 5
22 Jack Harrison
Proved to be one of the best outlets for Leeds in the opening half an hour as Kieran Trippier failed to keep a lid on the winger. Did drift out of the game in the second half though. 5
20 Daniel James
Pressed well and linked up nicely, but still waiting for anything remotely dangerous from him in the penalty box as the side's striker. 5
Substitutes
13 Kristoffer Klaesson
11 Tyler Roberts (on for James 71min)
Came on just before Newcastle's goal and didn't really change the flow of the match. 6
26 Lewis Bate
30 Joe Gelhardt (on for Klich 80min)
A late switch to raise heartbeats and hopes, but little fell for him. N/A
33 Leo Hjelde
39 Stuart McKinstry
45 Liam McCarron
52 Kris Moore
54 Nohan Kenneh
