Newcastle defender Malick Thiaw earned the highest rating of anyone in the Premier League last weekend, hitting a 9.3 after excelling in the Magpies' 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

The German got on the scoresheet after being in the right place to tap home from a corner to cap off an impressive showing at St James' Park.

Thiaw also performed well defensively with eight duels won, 10 clearances and five tackles to continue a brilliant debut season in the Premier League.

Newcastle are next in action against Leeds on Wednesday, January 7th.
