Lukas Hornicek: This would have been even uglier for the visitors were it not for Hornicek making fine saves to twice deny Bogle and also to foil Calvert-Lewin. 6<\/p>\n
Amar Dedic: Shook off hamstring issue to start, but a tough night as Leeds<\/a> repeatedly targeted his flank. 4<\/p>\n Malick Thiaw: Captain for night but this was far from a captain’s performance. Beaten easily by Calvert-Lewin for Leeds<\/a>‘ second goal, slapped turf in frustration after the striker fired past him for the third and then failed to block Okafor’s fourth. 3<\/p>\n Sven Botman: Like Thiaw, could not cope with Calvert-Lewin and was skinned so easily for Leeds<\/a>‘ second goal. 3<\/p>\n Lewis Hall: Dragged out of position in build-up of Leeds<\/a>‘ second goal. Not the night he had in mind after signing a new deal. 4<\/p>\n Nico Gonzalez: Belatedly came off after just 19 minutes after the ball struck him in the head in the early stages. 5 <\/p>\n Lewis Miley: Little he could do for deflection for Tanaka’s goal, but was overrawed by Leeds<\/a>‘ tenacious midfield. Had little time to find passing rhythm. 4<\/p>\n Jacob Murphy: Continued in injured Anthony Elanga’s absence, but did not offer enough protection and caused Leeds<\/a> few problems going the other way. 3<\/p>\n Yoane Wissa: Created Newcastle<\/a>‘s best chance and at least battled and chased, even if his final ball was not always great. 5<\/p>\n Harvey Barnes: Has a fearsome record against Leeds<\/a> and eyes lit up when he danced inside the box only for Trafford to deny him. 5<\/p>\n Matias Fernandez-Pardo: Full debut following his \u00a351.4m move from Lille. Had little to feed off as Newcastle<\/a> repeatedly played long balls forward. 4<\/p>\n Subs:<\/p>\n Sean Steur (on 19, Gonzalez): Thrown into the cauldron after Gonzalez went off. Could do little about deflection before Leeds<\/a>‘ first goal but gave the ball away in build up to Leeds<\/a>‘ second. Eighteen-year-old will learn from experience. 4<\/p>\n Bazoumana Toure (on 58, Murphy) So rapid and pulled one back. Bright cameo as he pushes for a start. 6<\/p>\n Joe Willock (on 58, Fernandez-Pardo): One decent chance landed on roof of net from tight angle. 5<\/p>\n Tino Livramento (on 58, Dedic): Another step on return from injury. Set up Toure’s consolation. 6<\/p>\n Aladji Bamba (on 79, Miley): A rare sighting following his summer move from Monaco. 5<\/p>\n Subs not used: Pope, Schar, Ramsey, M.Miley<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lukas Hornicek: This would have been even uglier for the visitors were it not for Hornicek making fine…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":892210,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-892209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/892209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=892209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/892209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/892210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=892209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=892209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=892209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
