They were attracted to Fulham with ten men and were very disappointed in Newcastle for failing to use Joachim Anderson’s controversial dispatch.
In the first period Newcastle were away from the pace and Matt Richie’s dream own goal was found behind their worthy.
Callum Wilson was caught by Fulham splitting after being shown a red card clipped by Anderson. Wilson sent a spot kick, but could not press their advantage at home in Newcastle. Here are the ones Lee Ryder’s player ratings.
Carl Tarlow7
One of the few people exposed to debt.
Diandre Yatlin5
He made himself available enough time, but could not find the medical ball in the box.
Siren Clark6
Late handball claim from Fulham escaped. Other than that it is stable enough.
Federico Fernandez6
An important block to deny Lukman from the free-kick. Not out in the second half.
Paul Dummet5
10 months later inevitably rusted. Fought after being thrown to the deep end.
Matt Richie4
Own goal horror. I tried to pull the Newcastle back, but not enough.
Jonjo Shelvi4
No leadership ability to roar Newcastle into three points. There were 90 touches, but many of them did not threaten to win it.
Sean Longstaff5
Better trip than Leeds. One more work in progress.
Miguel Almiron7
Probably the brightest outfield player. The key ball to help Wilson win the penalty.
Jolinton4
No wonder his number was coming.
Period Wilson7
Focused on helping to get a point back. Where would he be in Newcastle without him?
Subs
Isaac Hayden 7 (for Fernandez 46)
Helped the game back in Newcastle with consistent performance.
Dwight Gayle 5 (for Jolinton 75)
Not much damage.
Ryan Fraser (for Dummet 79)
* Subs should play for 15 minutes.
