NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):
8 Dubravka: Made two superb saves – deserves to start at Wembley ahead of Pope
7 Trippier: Did a good job of dealing with Mitoma as he was restored to Newcastle’s starting side
6 Schar: Became increasingly ragged as the game went on and strayed just offside as he scored
7 Burn: Won a succession of crucial headers in the second half of normal time and extra-time
5 Livramento: Ran himself into the ground, but allowed Welbeck to remain onside for the winner
6 Miley: Put in a decent central-midfield shift before he was taken off just before the hour mark
6 Tonali: Tried to get control of the game, but the frantic nature of the action didn’t r eally suit him
5 Joelinton: Made a welcome return from injury – but didn’t look quite up to speed as he played for just under an hour
5 Barnes: Failed to make an impact as he found himself repositioned to the right-hand side
7 Isak: Confirmed his importance on his return to the side – converted his penalty nervelessly
3 Gordon: Switched off for Minteh’s goal and lost his composure entirely as he was sent off for pushing van Hecke
Subs:
5 Guimaraes (for Miley, 56): Didn’t exert enough control during extra-time
4 Willock (for Joelinton, 56): Kept on running the ball out of play late on
6 Murphy (for Barnes, 56): Drew the foul that led to Lamptey’s dismissal
4 Targett (for Trippier, 69): Didn’t offer much down the left-hand side
Wilson (for Isak, 86)
