Newcastle United secured three points with a superb battling win over in-form Fulham.

But the drama at the end only came after Aleksandar Mitrovic fluffed a penalty at the Leazes End.

Here's how the players rated overall.

Nick Pope 8

Another clean sheet to make it five in a row in the Premier League. Rarely troubled other than Mitro's penalty blunder but still dealt with key claims and distribution well.

Kieran Trippier 7

Always looking to provide. Got away with a penalty call but also provided 15 crosses and had hand in winner.

Fabian Schar 8

A dominant defensive display. The pick of the back four. Unlucky to strike the post with free-kick.

Sven Botman 8

Another clean sheet to his collection. Some superb tackling on display.

Dan Burn 8

Dealt well with Fulham's threat of Willian and Mitrovic well down his side.

Joe Willock 7

Gave it his all before coming off. A decent display.

Sean Longstaff 8

Had a huge hand in the winner with a moment of quality. An all-round good midfield display. Man of the match.

Bruno Guimaraes 7

Rocked by injury heartache after rolling his ankle. 31 touches before he was taken off at half-time.

Miguel Almiron 7

A decent effort but not his best day of the season.

Joelinton 7

Had to drop back into midfield and performed excellently. Some huge clearances.

Callum Wilson 7

Had a host of chance but nothing went his way. For all that deserves as much credit as the scorer for crucial assist.

Subs

Allan Saint-Maximin 7 (for Bruno 46)

Offered presence after second half cameo.

Alexander Isak 8 (for Willock 69)

A huge goal. Came at a crucial time.

Jacob Murphy (for Almiron 85)

Chris Wood (for Wilson 90)

*Subs must play 15 minutes to get a mark.
