Lewis Miley 6/10
SUBS. (On for Joelinton, 47'): Kept things ticking over for the visitors after replacing Joelinton early in second half. Lascelles (for Schar, 90'): N/A, Dummett (for Almiron, 90'): N/A, Ritchie (for Show more
Anthony Patterson 5/10
SUNDERLAND RATINGS. Couple of decent saves to deny Longstaff. Some very iffy distribution. Blameless for opening goal but complicit in blunder for second. Reuters
Trai Hume 4/10
Given the runaround by Gordon and then shrugged off by Joelinton in build-up to opening goal. AFP
Luke O'Nien 6/10
Determined display, put body on the line with some brave blocks. PA
Daniel Ballard 5/10
Some vital and brave defending in the first half and then shinned one into his own net. Gave away penalty with clumsy challenge. Getty Images
Aji Alese 5/10
Got stuck in physically but nowhere to be seen as Trippier enjoyed so much success crossing from the right wing. AFP
Pierre Ekwah 3/10
Put in a shift but chasing shadows all afternoon. Horrible error led to second goal, hit target from distance shortly after. AFP
Dan Neil 5/10
Flashes of ability with the ball but gave it away far too often. Getty Images
Alex Pritchard 7/10
Full of effort and hit the bar with a decent run and shot on the hour and tested Dubravka with another decent effort. Getty Images
Jobe Bellingham 5/10
Couple of nice surges with the ball but very careless in possession. Reuters
Jack Clarke 5/10
Gave the ball away far too often and struggled on the fringes of the game. More involved after break. AFP
Nazariy Rusyn 5/10
Full of honest effort but starved of service and unable to trouble the Newcastle defence. SUB: Ba (on for Rusyn, 85'): N/A. Reuters
Martin Dubravka 7/10
NEWCASTLE RATINGS. Largely untroubled but made good saves from Ekwah's deflected long-range effort early in the second half and then from Pritchard. Reuters
Kieran Trippier 7/10
Looked more like himself after string of costly errors last month. Some pinpoint crossing from the right. Getty Images
Fabian Schar 6/10
Strong and steady as per usual. Reuters
Sven Botman 7/10
Top-quality centre-back who Newcastle will be delighted to have back from injury. Reuters
Dan Burn 6/10
Comedic moment in first half when he attempted to dribble past an opponent. Otherwise steady at left back and an unsettling presence at set-pieces. PA
Bruno Guimaraes 8/10
Seemed up for it from the off and has that bit of quality others don't possess. Pulled the strings from his deeper role. Getty Images
Sean Longstaff 6/10
Great to see him timing those late runs into the box but finishing needs some work. Wasted a couple of decent first half chances. Reuters
Joelinton 6/10
Ugly but effective. Worked hard and put in quality cross to force opener. Subbed early because of fitness issues. PA
Miguel Almiron 8/10
Constant pest for the Sunderland defence. His relentless pressing forced error for the second goal. Unlucky not to get one himself as O'Nien blocked. Getty Images
Alexander Isak 7/10
Led the line well and when his chance came he put it away clinically. Tucked penalty away with ease. AFP
Anthony Gordon 7/10
Never let the hosts settle with tireless display. Predictably involved in the handbags. Went close late on. Won penalty. Getty ImagesLewis Miley 6/10
