It ended Fulham 0 Newcastle 2.

Eddie Howe’s side keeping a clean sheet despite some decent Fulham pressure early on.

However, once Sean Longstaff fired United ahead shortly before half-time, Newcastle always looking like the winners.

Looking at the individuals in black and white, interesting to get an independent perspective on how this played out.

Whoscored ratings use data from every single Premier League match, over 200 raw statistics included in the automated calculation of a player’s rating, weighted according to their influence within the game.

Every event of importance is taken into account, with a positive or negative effect on ratings weighted in relation to its area on the pitch and its outcome.

Now whoscored have published their independent player ratings for this Fulham 0 Newcastle 2 match:

As you can see, ten players on the pitch getting a rating of 7.0 or higher and only one of them (Tete) playing for Fulham.

The automated ratings maybe showing a little generous towards the away side but the fact that Dubravka and all his defenders were amongst those getting 7.0 or higher, does reflect how well they did in keeping that clean sheet.

Goalscoring Dan Burn (8.8) getting the very highest rating after a committed display.

Worth comparing these automated ratings to the ones we featured on The Mag, Jonathan Drape-Comyn giving these person ratings HERE on the Newcastle United players against Fulham.
