5 Heroes (And 5 Villains) From Club Atlas 2-1 Newcastle

1. Moussa Sissoko

Moussa Sissoko really is a pivotal cog in this Newcastle United side and he proved it once again at Miller Park, scoring the goal that brought the Magpies back into the game and changed the whole momentum of the match. Yes United failed to find an equaliser in the second-half, but everything positive they did involved Sissoko in some way - be it via a bustling run, a physical challenge or simply a pass-and-go move. His finessed finish right on the stroke of half-time was brilliant and typified Newcastle at their best on the counter-attack - pace, power and movement. If Newcastle can get the best out of Sissoko on a regular basis and get Georginio Wijnaldum playing well alongside him then their midfield will terrorise opposition defences this season.
