Newcastle United 3-0 Southampton: Player ratings

5. Guido Carrillo had another tough day at the office but with the lack of movement and poor crosses previously mentioned he was isolated for the hour or so he had on the pitch. He was eventually substituted for Gabbiadini and therefore goes another game without a goal.. Southampton. . GUIDO CARRILLO

JOSH SIMS. 7. Josh Sims came off the bench at half-time but probably should’ve started. He had the Saints’ best chance cutting in onto his left foot and curling a shot on target, only to be stopped by a good save by Dubravka. He surely has to start next game.. First substitute. Southampton

SHANE LONG. 4.5. Shane Long was Pellegrino’s surprise second substitution considering Gabbiadini scored against Burnley. The Irishman didn’t really offer much going forward and failed to register a shot in his 45 minutes of play.. Second substitution. Southampton

4.5. Gabbiadini came on for Carrillo which is surprising as fans were crying out for the Italian to sit in a supportive role to the Argentine. Much like Long, Gabbiadini was isolated even with a two-up top set-up and he too failed to register a single shot before the match reached it’s conclusion.. Third subsitute. Southampton. MANOLO GABBIADINI
