Man of the Match - Fabian Schar
You would be forgiven for not nominating anyone for a man of the match award tonight, as that was the nature of the team victory experienced by Newcastle.
Of course, we have to choose someone, and that player is Fabian Schar.
Undoubtedly a classy defender, he added a stunning goal to his catalogue of defensive masterstrokes tonight, and proved why he is such a rock at the back for the Magpies.

Mbappe was almost invisible at St James' Park tonight, after being pretty much marked out of the game by Jamaal Lascelles and Fabian Schar.
It was almost a foregone conclusion before the game that he would tear apart the Newcastle defense, but that was not how it played out.
Schar was sublime at the back, and topped off his elite performance with a wonderful goal.
Scintillating too was Dan Burn, who also got a goal from a Bruno Guimaraes cross to double their lead in the first half. Mbappe, nowhere to be seen.
Sean Longstaff reacts!
Newcastle born and bred midfielder Sean Longstaff has reacted to the special win at home, and scoring in a 4-1 win at SJP...
"It's some night, we knew as a group it was going to be special. I think for me and Burny especially it just feels surreal. I'm speechless."
On whether people will be going to work tomorrow in Newcastle:
"I hope not!"
