Gregor Kobel (9/10)
Borussia Dortmund certainly had Gregor Kobel to thank for the three points as the Swiss shot-stopper came up with several vital saves over the course of the 90 minutes. Kobel once again proved why he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and made sure that Newcastle weren’t able to find a way past him.
