Murphy Gets 5.5, Miley With 5 | Newcastle United Players Rated In Disappointing Loss Vs Leeds United

Newcastle United faced off against Leeds United at Elland Road earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Magpies made a poor start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 32nd minute when Lewis Miley scored an unfortunate own goal. Jayden Bogle doubled his side’s advantage just a couple of minutes later. Dominic Calvert-Lewin got his name on the scoresheet in the first half injury-time as Newcastle went into the half-time break 3-0 down on the scoreline.

Noah Okafor added another goal for Leeds in the 59th minute. However, Bazoumana Toure scored a consolation goal for the Magpies in injury time as Newcastle crashed to a disappointing 4-1 loss away from home.

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

He made a few important saves at the back, but would be disappointed after conceding four times tonight.

RB: Amar Dedic – 6/10

Dedic did his fair share of defending, but it was not enough.

CB: Malick Thiaw – 6/10

He cleared the danger when he could, but failed to keep things solid at the back.

CB: Sven Botman – 6.5/10

Botman made a lot of crucial clearances inside his half, but struggled to keep the opposition attackers quiet.
