Newcastle 1-2 Club Atlas – NUFC Match Ratings

10. Siem De Jong (Replaced By Gabriel Obertan) - 5/10

A pretty quiet night from the Dutchman as his respective return to full fitness continues. He did show a couple of quality touches and was heavily involved in a number of attacking Newcastle moves, although, in the first half especially, you had to wonder where he was as the gap between the midfield and Papiss Cisse was cataclysmic. Siem should have been there to link play and support the Senegalese striker, but he simply wasn't. Hopefully an understanding will develop over the coming weeks, if Papiss remains at the club of course... Siem would have been disappointed not to get his name on the score sheet as he dragged a fantastic chance wide. At least he made it through another 70 mins though... Every cloud.

Gabriel Obertan - 4.5/10

The wing wizard didn't really do anything after being introduced in the 73rd minute. Although a laps in concentration in the middle of his own half almost resulted in another goal for Atlas.
