Newcastle United locked horns with Brighton and Hove Albion at the American Express Community Stadium earlier today as they looked to secure a positive result on their travels in this Premier League game. The Magpies were solid in the first half and managed to get into the half-time break with a goalless scoreline.
Eddie Howe’s men struggled to engineer too many chances in the second 45 minutes. Both teams ended up canceling each other out and played out a 0-0 draw at the Amex Stadium.
Let’s take a look at how each Newcastle United player performed during the match against the Seagulls.

CB: Fabian Schar – 7.5/10

LW: Allan Saint-Maximin – 6.5/10
The French talent made a handful of encouraging runs with the ball but never got a sniff at goal. He got replaced in the 74th minute.
