It ended Newcastle 4 West Ham 3.

An astonishing afternoon at St James’ Park.

Newcastle United fans seeing their team come back from what looked an impossible position to win the game.

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 Newcastle 4 West Ham 3 match:

(The Whoscored image can only show four subs at any one time, Almiron was rated 6.5 by their system)

As you can see, nine players who started the match getting a rating of 7.0 or higher, four playing for Newcastle and five for the away side.

Kudus (9.3) getting MOTM according to their ratings, with Isak (8.1) the highest of the Newcastle United starting eleven. Not sure how Anthony Gordon can be rated only 6.5 as he played such a key part in this win, there must be a serious downgrading if you get a red card!

Maybe the key story of the match comes from the ratings the subs got, with match winner Barnes (8.5), Anderson (7.3) and Hall (7.1) all scoring highly.
