Ipswich 0 Newcastle 4 – Interesting independent ratings on Newcastle United players | OneFootball

It ended Ipswich Newcastle 4.

It only took 25 seconds for Newcastle United to stun Ipswich.

Alexander Isak scoring the first goal of what turned out to be a hat-trick.

Jacob Murphy getting the other goal.

United were 3-0 up at half-time and able to cruise the second-half, only adding that Isak hat-trick strike on the end of a superb Murphy assist.

Looking at the individuals in black and white, interesting to get an independent perspective on how this played out.

‘Whoscored ratings use data from every single Premier League match, over 200 raw statistics included in the automated calculation of a player’s rating, weighted according to their influence within the game.

Every event of importance is taken into account, with a positive or negative effect on ratings weighted in relation to its area on the pitch and its outcome.’

Now whoscored have published their independent player ratings for this Ipswich 0 Newcastle 4 match:

(The Whoscored system can only show a maximum of four subs on their display at any one time, Miguel Almiron was rated 6.1)

As you can see, ten players who started the match received a rating of 7.0 or more.

Zero surprise, all of them playing for Newcastle United.

The only thing I wouldn’t agree with, these automated ratings is that Willock was somehow rated only 6.6. I think it was a day when everybody in black and white was really on it.

Alexander Isak a perfect 10 out of 10, not sure what he would have been awarded if he’d taken that one on one and a couple of other very decent chances.

Jacob Murphy rated 8.9 and he deserves it, a great goal and even better assist.

Whilst Bruno next best at 8.4. He was quality and so unlucky to see his header strike the post rather than the back of the net.
