Newcastle 3 Liverpool 3 – Interesting independent ratings on Newcastle United players | OneFootball

It ended Newcastle 3 Liverpool 3.

Newcastle United twice leading, through Isak and then Gordon, only for Liverpool to twice come back.

Then when the sousers took a late lead, it looked all over.

Only for Fabian Schar to produce an incredible finish from what looked an all but impossible angle.

Looking at the individuals in black and white, interesting to get an independent perspective on how this played out.

Mo Salah (8.9) getting man of the match but I thought by some distance, Alexander Isak (8.7) was the very best player on the pitch.

Gordon (8.0) also very good and rated next best for NUFC, then Bruno (7.5) third highest for Newcastle with a very good performance.

Fabian Schar (7.0) the other home player to get a 7.0 or higher rating.
