NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):
6 Dubravka: Was serenaded by the Gallowgate End, but might well feel he should have done better with Bromley’s goal
6 Trippier: Was back in the captain’s armband, but looked a subdued figure for much of the game
6 Schar: Had a relatively quiet afternoon once Bromley’s bright early opening had blown over
6 Kelly: Matched Bromley’s players physically, but almost gave a goal away with a slack first-half pass
7 Targett: Made the most of his opportunity, attacking with purpose and winning the penalty that enabled Newcastle to take the lead
5 Longstaff: Was well off the pace for much of the first half, but kept plugging away and trying to break forward
7 MILEY: Shrugged off his part in the Bromley goal to score a brilliant equaliser and emerge as the standout midfielder

5 Joelinton: Showed willing in his first-half outing, but his forward breaks never really looked like amounting to much
5 Almiron: Looked well off the pace in the first half, and couldn’t really impact the game after the break either
6 Osula: Had been relatively quiet for the opening hour, but opened his Magpies account in style with a brilliant finish
4 Barnes: Didn’t really look interested in his 45 minutes on the field before he was hauled off at half-time
Subs:
7 Gordon (for Barnes, 46): Helped get Newcastle going and scored with a clinical penalty
7 Guimaraes (for Joelinton, 46): His positive running got Newcastle onto the front foot in the second half
5 Hall (for Targett, 69): Didn’t have to over-exert himself in the closing stages
5 Sanusi (for Osula, 69): Will have thoroughly enjoyed his senior debut
Tonali (for Almiron, 83)
