Newcastle United entertained West Ham United at St. James’ Park earlier tonight as they hoped to grind out a good result at home in the Premier League. The Magpies made a quick start to the game and got their noses ahead in the third-minute courtesy of Callum Wilson’s goal. Lucas Paqueta equalised for West Ham in the 32nd minute as the two sides went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.

Let’s take a look at how each Newcastle United player fared during the match against the Hammers.

Pope didn’t have a save to make in the game and will be disappointed after conceding a goal in the 32nd minute.

RB: Kieran Trippier – 7/10

He cleared the danger when needed and engineered some decent chances from the right flank.

CB: Fabian Schar – 7/10

Schar gave a good account of himself on the defensive end of the field and won his fair share of aerial duels.
