Newcastle v Norwich player ratings: Clark 0, Wilson 6; Sargent 4, Pukki 7

Magpies still waiting for first win of season after 1-1 draw on Tyneside

• 

  NEWCASTLE RATINGS Martin Dubravka - 6: Flying stop from Gilmour free-kick after Clark had been sent-off and wasn’t called into action again until just before break when saving easily from Tzolis. Should have caught cross instead of punching before Norwich leveller but made up for it with fine save to stop Lees-Melou scoring winner. PA

• 

  Javier Manquillo - 7: Whole-hearted display from Spanish full-back who had to focus on defending rather than pushing forward with team down to 10 men. Beaten for pace by Sargent early on second half but chance came to nothing. PA

• 

  Ciaran Clark – 0: Back in team for suspended captain Jamaal Lascelles but gave ball away to Pukki, hauled down the Finnish striker as he headed for goal and was sent-off for a professional foul after 10 minutes. Catastrophic decision-making from the Irish defender. PA

• 

  Fabian Schar - 7: Back in favour under Eddie Howe but threatened to add to Newcastle first-half woes when he went down injured. Picked himself up, though, and was part of a resolute defensive performance until an awful error late on that Lees-Melou nearly scored from. PA

• 

  Jamal Lewis - 7: Left-back up against old club in first league start since February and lifted the crowd with some thunderous tackles. Did enough to put off Sargant, who looked poised to score just before the half-hour. Reuters

• 

  Ryan Fraser – N/A: Winger was sacrificed for a defender following Clark’s early sending off. Getty

• 

  Jonjo Shelvey - 5: Fired game’s first shot high and wide from distance. Midfielder’s passing radar was erratic, to say the least, at times and gave away possession far too easily. Disappointing performance. PA

• 

  Joe Willock - 6: One surging run down the left, beating two players before finding Wilson in the box who blasted over in first half. Still searching for top gear this season and taken off with 20 minutes to go. Reuters

• 

  Allan Saint-Maximin - 6: Tried to make things happen despite Newcastle being a man down, although had another one of his frustrating performances with little end product. Shot one chance over bar after the break. AFP

• 

  Callum Wilson - 6: Newcastle No 9, captain for the night, was teed-up by Willock in the first half but blazed over. Far from convincing side-footed penalty but still ended up in back of the net. PA

• 

  Joelinton - 6: Struck a fierce shot just over the bar after 20 minutes and another way over later in the half. Brazilian felt he should have had a second-half penalty after being fouled in box but waved away by referee. PA

• 

  SUBS: Federico Fernandez – (On for Fraser 13’) 8: Argentine defender called on early doors after Clark’s moment of madness. Not afraid to carry ball out of defence and run at Norwich and threw himself into tackles. His header was blocked by Gilmour’s arm for the penalty. AFP

• 

  Isaac Hayden – (On for Willock 72’) 6: Nearly made it 2-0 with hooked shot across face of goal minutes after coming on. PA

• 

  Miguel Almiron – (On for Saint-Maximin 78’) N/A: Not on for long but guilty of going down far too easily on a couple of challenges that did not warrant it. Reuters

• 

  NORWICH RATINGS: Tim Krul - 6: Former Newcastle goalkeeper not troubled in first half. Got a hand to Wilson's penalty but couldn’t keep it out. Getty

• 

  Max Aarons - 7: Left for dead by one Willock run in first half but generally solid night’s work from the the right-back. PA

• 

  Grant Hanley - 8: Another ex-Magpie, the Scottish defender marshalled his backline well and helped restrict Newcastle to shooting from distance. Captain helped keep likes of Saint-Maximin and Wilson quiet. Reuters

• 

  Ben Gibson - 6: One vital interception as Saint-Maximin threatened to break through in the opening half. Beaten to ball by Hayden in last 20 minutes as Newcastle substitute was able to shoot across goal. Reuters

• 

  Brandon Williams - 6: On-loan Manchester United full-back produced brilliant interception to stop Wilson getting through on goal and involved in nice one-two to set-up chance for Tzolis. Frustrated teammates with a couple of his passing decisions. Getty

• 

  Lukas Rupp - 5: Like many of his teammates, midfielder guilty of not moving the ball forward quick enough against Newcastle’s 10 men until Pukki's goal when visitors finally took control. Reuters

• 

  Billy Gilmour - 6: Back in the team since new manager’s arrival and had good free-kick saved by keeper early in the game but his manager will have been disappointed Scottish midfielder didn't take game by scruff of neck against 10 men. Getty

• 

  Kenny McLean - 6: Excellent ball across box that Sargant should have finished 30 minutes in. Less impressive shot high and wide soon after that was met with loud and ironic jeers from home fans. AFP

• 

  Christos Tzolis - 6: Caused Newcastle a few problems with his movement but final ball was poor until low shot forced save out of Dubravka at keeper’s near post. Hooked at half-time. PA

• 

  Joshua Sargent - 4: Had opportunity to open scoring but failed to attack McLean's ball with any conviction. Found some space down the left just after break but gave Pukki no chance with blasted cross. A poor evening from the American. Reuters

• 

  Teemu Pukki - 7: Would have been through on goal had Clark not pulled him down in red-card challenge. Might have had another chance to score had teammate Sargent not tried to take his head off with ball into middle. Sweet left-footed volley to level the scores. Getty

• 

  SUBS: Pierre Lees-Melou – (On for Tzolis 46’) 5: Glorious chance for injury-time winner but Dubravka stuck out a leg to turn shot over bar. Curled another shot straight at the keeper minutes later. AFP

• 

  Adam Idah – (On for Sargant 68’) 6: Annoyed Schar by accidentally standing on Swiss defender’s ankle and caused Newcastle a few problems when he came on. Reuters

  Dimitris Giannoulis – (On for Williams 73’) 6: Supplied cross for Pukki goal. Getty

Newcastle United's wait for a first win of the season goes on after a 1-1 draw with Norwich City at St James' Park on Tuesday.

The Magpies, who are bottom of the Premier League with just seven points from 14 games, suffered a nightmare start when defender Ciaran Clark was sent-off for a professional foul on Norwich striker Teemu Pukki after only 10 minutes.

The red card left Eddie Howe's team with a mountain to climb but they responded with a committed performance, albeit managing only one shot on target all match.

That came came just after the hour when Callum Wilson scored from the penalty spot - after Federico Fernandez's header struck the raised arm of Billy Gilmour - although Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul managed to get a hand to the strike but failed to keep it out.

Newcastle looked set for what would have been a huge victory against the second-botton Canaries until 11 minutes from time when keeper Martin Dubravka failed to deal with a ball into the box and substitute Dimitris Giannoulis picked out Pukki who volleyed superbly into the top corner.

Norwich almost grabbed a late winner but Dubravka saved from another substitute in Pierre Lees-Melou.

The point lifts Dean Smith's side above Burnley into 18th place, while Newcastle remain rooted to the bottom of the table.

"I thought the crowd would get us over the line," said Magpies manager Howe. "I felt the players showed real resilience, which we’re going to need for the upcoming matches.

"The challenge ahead is huge. We’re under no illusions as to the size of the task we face. We need to get the wins we need – draws aren’t going to be enough."

Krul admitted Norwich should have capitalised on their advantage. "Before the game you'd probably have said a point would be alright," he said. "If you play against 10 men for 80 minutes you're disappointed not to get three points."
