First half
Nick Pope 6
Beaten twice with the first goal coming after an attempted punch went wrong to allow Ramos to score. Didn't get a finger on Grimaldo's free-kick.
Kieran Trippier 8
Given a test from Joao Mario down the left. But proved a handful going forward with two assists for Almiron.
Jamaal Lascelles 6
Beaten in the air for first goal.

Sven Botman 7
Some good recovery work with Benfica lethal on the break.
Matt Targett 6
Has been steady.
Bruno Guimaraes 6
On a booking and needs to be careful with Benfica players getting a lot of change from the referee.
Sean Longstaff 6
Taken a few whacks in midfield battle.
Elliot Anderson 7
Showed willingness to get on the ball.
Miguel Almiron 8
The late addition to the team sheet missed one chance early on. But made no mistake when slamming home Trippier's cross. And curved home well to make it 2-2.
Allan Saint-Maximin 7
Has had some good moments when Newcastle have managed to get him on the ball.
Callum Wilson 6
Had a couple of openings. The best one was smothered by Vlachodimos.
Second half:
Karl Darlow 7
Marshalled the defence well enough before being exposed for the last gasp winner
Emil Krafth 6
Battled hard and showed why Newcastle have extended his deal.
Fabian Schar 6
A steady enough display.
Dan Burn 6
Suffered late agony as Ramos broke past him to set up goal
Matty Bondswell 7
Made some good runs forward after being thrown in for big game
Jonjo Shelvey 7
Suffered injury agony after an excellent 20 minutes in which he set up two good chances
Joelinton 6
Red card horror. The first yellow card was soft leading to a frustrating dismissal.
Joe Willock 6
Didn't get much luck.
Matt Ritchie 7
Worked hard and put in a shift.
Jacob Murphy 6
Had a chance to score after Shelvey pass.
Chris Wood 6
