#3 Hit: Paul Dummett
Despite losing the game, Newcastle United were a tough nut to crack as they conceded courtesy a misunderstanding between Paul Dummett and Jetro Willems.
Apart from his misplaced pass, Dummett provided solid cover to marauding left wing-back, Matt Ritchie. The 27-year-old also read Aubameyang's darting runs to perfection, managing to push the Gabonese forward to his weaker left-side almost invariably. Ainsley Maitland-Niles' purposeful runs on the flanks were kept in check by the Welsh international.
Thus, he played a pivotal role in the Magpies' solid defensive showing.
In addition to his defensive discipline, Dummett has developed a blooming partnership with Ritchie, finding the wing-back with his aerial dinks on a consistent basis. His awareness allowed a smooth defensive transition from three central defenders to a five-back for Steve Bruce's XI.
Regardless of his lack of communication with Jetro Willems in the situation that led to the goal, Dummett's solid performance hints towards a few clean sheets for Newcastle this season.
