10. Georginio Wijnaldum - 8 (Replaced by Siem De Jong After 81 Minutes)
Georginio Wijnaldum would certainly have been the name on everyone's lips as they left St James' Park on Sunday. The new signing moved the ball well, retained possession and scored a fantastic headed goal after making a typical box-to-box run at the beginning of the second-half. He was replaced by Siem de Jong after 81 minutes.
Siem De Jong - 5
He replaced Wijnaldum after 81 minutes and didn't get a chance to make any kind of impact as Newcastle tried to hold on to a draw. Will be interesting to see how much game-time the Dutchman gets this season.
