Newcastle Player Ratings: Watford (FA Cup)

Newcastle have been knocked out of the 4th round of the FA Cup after a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Watford.

The visitors took the lead after 60 minutes when Andre Gray slotted past Freddie Woodman.

Isaac Success sealed the win in the 90th minute after they caught Newcastle out on the counter.

Rafa Benitez’s side rarely threatened the Watford goal, despite the Hornets making 11 changes to their line-up.

A Javier Manquillo effort cleared off the line was the only time they really tested Heurelho Gomes who didn’t need to make a single save.

It is now 13 years since the Magpies progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup and will be disappointed with their lackluster display after making six changes themselves.

Newcastle will now have their sole focus on the league and staying in the division after another failed cup run.

Here’s how we rated the Newcastle players from the game:
