Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Newcastle player ratings as subs can't prevent FA Cup exit

Newcastle United were beaten 2-1 on FA Cup third round day against League One minnows Sheff Wed.

Eddie Howe rotated his team but still included a team of big money signings including £63million Alexander Isak, £35million defender Sven Botman and £40million star Joelinton.

On a day in which Newcastle registered 22 shots overall and had 75% possession they were hit twice on the break at Hillsborough as Josh Windass emerged the hero.

Here's how the players rated after the game:

Martin Dubravka 6

Beaten twice on his return. Some good saves but not the return he was dreaming of.

Javier Manquillo 6

Made a good fist of the first half and was an attacking threat. Fizzled out after the break.

Jamaal Lascelles 5

Outpaced by Windass for the second goal. Some tough moments.

Sven Botman 6

Tastes defeat for the first time. Had over 100 touches and will be furious with result.

Jamal Lewis 5

Was always going to find it tough after so long on the sidelines.

Sean Longstaff 6

Gave it his best shot after a lot of action over festive period.

Joelinton 7

Created enough and slipped in Wood for a great chance.

Elliot Anderson 6

Had his moments. Denied by fine save from Dawson. Needs a run of games to hit full potential.

Sean Longstaff 6

Battled away for an hour. Has played a lot of football in last two weeks.

Jacob Murphy 6

Had just the keeper to beat in the first half.

Matt Ritchie 6

The effort levels can't be faulted.

Alexander Isak 7

Demonstrated what a threat he can be. Denied by two saves. A 45 minute run out was always planned.

Subs

Chris Wood 5 (for Isak 46)

Had a great chance to nick a replay.

Joe Willock 6 (for Anderson 60)

Created a couple of openings.

Miguel Almiron 6 (for Murphy 60)

Didn't have the desired impact.

Bruno Guimaraes 7 (for Longstaff 60)

Probably needed to be on earlier. Grabbed a goal but it didn't spark replay.

Kieran Trippier 7 (for Lewis 67)

Another who needed to be on earlier. Eight crosses and an assist in 23 minutes suggests he's indispensable

Here's how the players rated after the opening 45 minutes:

Martin Dubravka 7

Yet to be tested with a shot on target. Distribution has been fine.

Javier Manquillo 7

Has been Newcastle's main threat down the right. Plenty of crosses.

Jamaal Lascelles 6

A couple of heavy touches so far. Getting back into the swing of things.

Sven Botman 7

Usual assured performance so far. One crucial intervention to deny Wednesday late in the half.

Jamal Lewis 6

Another finding his way back into first-team action.

Elliot Anderson 6

Battling hard and sent one header over early.

Joelinton 7

Restored back into the middle again. Holding the midfield together.

Sean Longstaff 6

Covering plenty of ground.

Matt Ritchie 6

Sent one good chance over the top.

Jacob Murphy 6

Struggled for touches to begin. Used his pace to nip through just before the break but couldn't beat the oncoming Dawson who sprinted out and narrowed the angle.

Alexander Isak 7

Demonstrating what a threat he can be. Denied by two saves.
