Showed exactly why Newcastle bought him from the get-go with a incisive pass into Georginio Wijnaldum who then teed up Ayoze Perez for a classy opener. He gave the ball away twice all afternoon, bringing out the full range of short and long range passes. His 60-yard drilled raker of a ball out to Daryl Janmaat for the second United goal was out of this world, and justified why the club bought him. He was fierce in the tackle too! Showing tenacity and a modicum of nastiness that this Newcastle side - apart from maybe Mitrovic - lacks in spades. Even though his performance went quiet in the second half, Shelvey did more than enough to prove he is exactly what Newcastle has been missing.
