Michael McGlinchey -6

Solid performance by the former Mariner without doing much of note. Won plenty of duels for the ball.

Matthew Ridenton -6

Looked a bit uncomfortable at the beginning but delivered the corner for Mullen's goal.

Matija Ljujic -7

Marked his starting debut with his second goal in as many games. His crossed-turn-shot deceiving Duncan.

Roy Krishna -7

His speed got the better of the Newcastle defence a few times and the Fijian still netted his fifth goal in eight games against the club.

Nathan Burns -7

Always looked threatening when running with the ball, and delivered a handfull of crosses including assisting Krishna's goal.

Andrija Kaluderovic -6

Didn't have too many chances but should've scored with the one he got deep into the first half.

SUBS

Scott Galloway -6

Replaced Mullen at half time and received a booking half way through. But was hungry for the ball and won a couple of challenges.

Alex Rufer -N/A

Came on for Ljujic but didn't have the same effect on the match.

Adam Parkhouse -N/A

Replaced Burns after Wellington conceded their second.
