Newcastle 3-1 Southampton: Premier League – Player Ratings
By Marc Walker
Midfielders
Oriol Romeu, Central-Midfield – 6.5
Four successful tackles and four interceptions throughout the game as he returned to the side.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Central-Midfield – 6.5
A fairly quite afternoon for the Dane who grew into the game as his side did.
James Ward-Prowse, Right-Midfield – 7.5
Some dangerous balls into the area that produced a number of chances for Yoshida in particular. A decent job at Right Wing-Back in Valery’s absence and a goalline clearance to deny Rondon.
Ryan Bertrand, Left-Midfield – 7
Some good ground made down the left flank at times. Three successful tackles and three blocks throughout the match.
