Elliot Anderson and 'brilliant' Dan Burn top Newcastle United ratings as Trippier also impresses

Nick Pope 8

A clean sheet against a capable Serie A side. Some important saves.

Kieran Trippier 8

Ran the game down the right-hand side with a captain's display. United must keep him fit this term and there was near silence as he lay injured for a while in the first half, underlining that the crowd are well aware of his importance.

Fabian Schar 7

A steady enough display ahead of Jamaal Lascelles. It's going to be close when it comes to Howe deciding Botman's partner on opening day.

Dan Burn 9

Done a brilliant job marking Zapata - who has scored over 100 goals in Serie A - by sticking to him like glue. Barely let the Colombia international out of his sight all evening.

Matt Targett 7

Shook off early injury scare to keep Atalanta at bay. Close to grabbing a goal when forcing Russo into second half save.

Sean Longstaff 7

Grew in stature as the game went on. A crunch tackle on Ederson in the second half after he'd spun past him in the opening 45 minutes showed he's capable of learning on the job.

Elliot Anderson 9

Bounced back on his feet after some rough challenges. Dealing well with the physical side. Won the penalty which put Newcastle ahead. And had other opportunities.

Miguel Almiron 7

Some good running and hard work. Didn't show same end product as he did in Benfica.

Jacob Murphy 6

United didn't get him on the ball to often. One cross cleared after rare break forward and another shot went wide.

Ryan Fraser 7

A bright display and another good audition for a starting place against Nottingham Forest

Chris Wood 7

Made no mistake from the spot. A much-needed goal after a dry pre-season so far.
