Gateshead 0-1 Newcastle – NUFC Match Ratings

By Matt Smith /

1. Karl Darlow: 7/10

Not much to do for the former Nottingham Forest keeper, he claimed two high crosses that looped into the box with ease and looked confident in his distribution. He was replaced by Freddie Woodman at half time.

2. Freddie Woodman: 5/10

He didn't look as confident as Darlow but the 18-year-old held on to a free-kick hit straight at him and made a couple of routine saves as Gateshead began to impose a threat towards the middle of the second half.
