Rate the Newcastle players after Magpies secure Champions League qualification with Leicester draw

Newcastle United will be playing Champions League football next season after they were held to a 0-0 draw with Leicester City.

Despite dominating the game and peppering Daniel Iversen's goal with 23 shots, the Magpies could not find a winning goal at St James' Park but it was not all in vain.

After soaking up the pressure, Leicester almost grabbed a winner right at the death, only for Nick Pope to produce a stunning save from Timothy Castagne's effort to ensure United grabbed the point they needed to secure a top four finish.

It means fifth placed Liverpool can only now catch Manchester United if they are to secure Champions League football, although the Red Devils only need one point from their final two games this season to join Newcastle in European football's premier competition.

It means Newcastle fans can now look forward to welcoming some of European football's biggest clubs to St James' Park next season, 20 years since hosting the likes of Juventus, Barcelona and Inter Milan on Tyneside during Sir Bobby Robson's time in charge of the club.

So how did you rate the Newcastle players this evening? Let us know by using our player ratings tool below.
