Midfield

Georginio Wijnaldum-10.0  What a difference an international break makes. Two weeks ago Newcastle were on the wrong end of 6 goals and this weekend they exacted revenge with Wijnaldum playing the role of Sergio Aguero.

The former PSV captain is starting to look like the player Newcastle shelled out £14million for during the summer.
