Newcastle United let yet more home points slip, this time with Burnley grabbing a late equaliser.

But how did United rate? Liam Kennedy has his say...

Karl Darlow - Very little to do bar pick the ball out of the net... 6

DeAndre Yedlin - Always an outlet going forward, caught napping a few times going the other way. But nothing new there... 6

Jamaal Lascelles - Towering header for the game's opener. Solid performance under some intense pressure... 6

Ciaran Clark - Showed composure bringing the ball out of defence but struggled with some of Burnley's high, direct stuff... 6

Paul Dummett - One mistake near the end masked what was an otherwise impressive show... 7

Mo Diame - Looking just like the player United thought they were signing last season... 7

Mikel Merino - Struggled to make much of an impact. Visibly tired as game went on... 5

Christian Atsu - Little to no impact. Didn't stop him trying but energy and graft did not make up for his lack of end product... 5

Ayoze Perez - Literally never stopped running. Chased everything. A real thorn in the Clarets' side... 7

Kenedy - A lively debut for the new boy. At the heart of everything positive United produced in the final third ...8
