Player Ratings: Newcastle United 1 Brighton 2 – Dubravka Magpies best




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

Wilson (for Isak, 86)
