Martin Dubravka 6/10
NEWCASTLE RATINGS. Saved routinely from Iwobi in first half. Claimed crosses confidently when required to do so. Reuters
Tino Livramento 7/10
Thought he was getting a run out in his preferred right-back slot in the absence of Trippier but was shifted to left-back after Schar went off. Enterprising display, got forward whenever possible and Show more
Jamaal Lascelles 6/10
Got away with an elbow on Jimenez in the prelude to the red card. Otherwise untroubled by 10-man Fulham. AFP
Fabian Schar 5/10
Limped out of the action early with a hamstring injury picked up as he carried the ball out of defence. Getty Images
Dan Burn 7/10
Moved from left-back to centre-back after Schar's injury. Recovered well to put off Iwobi as he ran clear in the first half. Occasionally sloppy in possession but finished game on a high with goal numShow more
Sean Longstaff 6/10
Failed to gather Livramento's cross just before the break as he looked well-placed to break the deadlock. AFP
Bruno Guimaraes 9/10
Pulled the strings. Passing range impressive, especially when shifting focus of attacks. Gorgeous flick created a chance just before the interval. Run and persistence created opener for Miley. GorgeouShow more
Joelinton 5/10
Lots of industry from the fans' favourite but then played Iwobi in on goal with careless pass. Went off injured midway through first half. PA
Miguel Almiron 7/10
Box of tricks on the right wing. Followed in well to get his goal. Reuters
Callum Wilson 5/10
One flicked header on target, tried to dive for a penalty as Livramento crossed for Longstaff late in the first half. Set up a shooting chance for Gordon. AFP
Anthony Gordon 7/10
Slow start but livened up as game progressed. Unlucky to hit the bar following some slick control in the box. Went close on a couple of occasions, subbed late for a well-earned rest. Getty Images
Emil Krafth 6/10
NEWCASTLE SUBS. Krafth (on for Schar, 14'): Steady at right back. Got forward at times and put in a couple of decent crosses. Getty Images
Lewis Miley 8/10
(On for Joelinton, 31'): Added lots of energy to the Newcastle midfield when he came on and was rewarded with his first goal for the club. Getty Images
Sven Botman N/A
Botman (on for Burn, 84'): N/A, Ritchie (on for Livramento, 84'): N/A, Hall (on for Gordon, 84'): N/A. PA
Bernd Leno 7/10
FULHAM RATINGS. Made a couple of decent saves, especially one from Gordon. AFP
Timothy Castagne 5/10
Difficult day up against the livewire Gordon. Subbed after an hour. Getty Images
Tosin Adarabioyo 6/10
Coped fairly comfortably with Wilson and defended wholeheartedly for his out-manned side. Getty Images
Issa Diop 6/10
One super piece of defensive work to get across on the full stretch to thwart Almiron. AFP
Antonee Robinson 6/10
Couple of lung-busting surges forward to relieve the pressure on his team. Reuters
Tom Cairney 5/10
Thankless task after the red card with his job becoming all about shape and discipline. AFP
Harry Wilson 6/10
Worked hard but with scant reward. Getty Images
Joao Palhinha 6/10
Did his best to protect his defence after the red card. Picked up his customary booking. AFP
Andreas Pereira 6/10
One beautiful pass early on to release Iwobi but saw his attacking instincts curbed by the red card. Subbed. AFP
Alex Iwobi 6/10
Started on the left but shifted into the middle after Jimenez was dismissed. Willing runner but might have done better when through on goal in the first half. Reuters
Raul Jimenez 4/10
Took a nasty elbow in the face from Lascelles and lost his head. Challenge on Longstaff was reckless and unnecessary but he did pull out. Yellow card was probably just about okay but couldn't really cShow moreRodrigo Muniz 5/10
