8. Moussa Sissoko - 8 (Replaced by Papiss Cisse 77')
Moussa Sissoko was very impressive as Newcastle battled to keep themselves in the game and despite a couple of rash challenges the midfielder was a constant threat going forward. His tireless endeavour meant that the Magpies stayed in the game and the player looked the most likely to create anything in Arsenal's penalty area.
