Sensational. Fabricio Coloccini rolled back the years with a masterful ninety minutes. The Newcastle skipper displayed a mixture of elegant defensive play with controlled aggression and it was a joy to watch. Complimented by Steven Taylor, the pair linked together well and after Chancel Mbemba's excellent performance at right-back it begs the question if Daryl Janmaat will come straight back into the side.
