Neither team was able to break the deadlock in the first half, with Dan Ballard&#8217;s header at the end of the first half the closest either team came to taking the lead in the first 45 minutes. Newcastle suffered a major setback when Dan Byrne was substituted with an injury after losing the match against Nordi Mukiele.<\/p>\n<p>However, just 63 seconds into the second half, disaster struck as Newcastle were unable to clear their lines and Mukiele&#8217;s cross was smashed into the box. Instead of finding a player in red and white, Nick Woltemade flicked the ball past his own goalkeeper, giving Sunderland a valuable lead, which they held on to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>How Newcastle players fared on Wearside&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>aaron ramsdale 6<\/p>\n<p>One of the few players to make some saves and get some real credit.<\/p>\n<p>Tino Livramento 5<\/p>\n<p>Although he held the ball a lot with 58 touches, he didn&#8217;t do much.<\/p>\n<p>malik tiaw 6<\/p>\n<p>He performed better than against Leverkusen, but few players around him stepped up.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Byrne 6<\/p>\n<p>He fought hard until he was sent off following a tough challenge from Nordi Mukiele.<\/p>\n<p>lewis hall 5<\/p>\n<p>It started off pretty well, but then declined.
