Goals:
0-1: Jelavic (49, powered a terrific acrobatic volley beyond Krul after meeting Elmohamady’s cross)
0-2: Diame (68, allowed to turn on the edge of the area before delivering a delightful left foot finish in off Krul’s right-hand post)
1-2: Cisse (73, controlled Tiote’s pass before firing low in to McGregor’s near post)
2-2: Cisse (87, arrived on cue to turn in Gouffran’s knock down from six yards after Sissoko’s deep cross)
Bookings: Coloccini (52, dissent); Robertson (59, dissent); Sissoko (59, dissent)
Referee: Neil Swarbrick (Preston) - whatever the result at the final whistle, the man in the middle could never have been blamed - or thanked - by Newcastle supporters; pretty routine afternoon. 7

NEWCASTLE UNITED (4-2-3-1):
6 Krul: Got nowhere near to the two goals but was reliable enough in his area;
7 Janmaat: Looked to join in with Newcastle’s attacks down the right by delivering a number of crosses
6 Williamson: A better display than his awful Southampton outing; winning a number of headers
7 Coloccini: Seemed determined to lead from the back and was strong in the tackle and in the air
6 Dummett: Justified his return to the side with a pretty solid display;
8 Tiote: Impressive return for the Ivorian but had to hobble off in the closing stages which will be a concern this week
6 Colback: Got involved in plenty of the play without really causing too much problem for the Hull defence;
7 Sissoko: Created more than he has in previous outings this season and was involved in the second
7 Cabella: Liveliest man going forward for most of the game but needs to find extra quality in the penalty area
6 Gouffran: Knocked down Sissoko’s cross for Cisse to turn in the equaliser after another workmanlike display;
5 Riviere: Still looks incapable of scoring in the Premier League even if his general forward play is good
Subs:
CISSE (for Riviere 69): The perfect way to return to action and Pardew should be grateful. 8
Ameobi (for Tiote 85)
Perez (for Gouffran 90)
(not used): Anita, Haidara, Elliot (gk), Taylor.
HULL CITY (4-4-2): McGregor 7; Elmohamady 7, Davies 6, Dawson 6, Robertson 5 (Rosenior 88); Livermore 6, DIAME 7, Huddlestone 6, Quinn 6; Jelavic 7 (Meyler 81), Hernandez 4 (Aluko 5, 55). Subs (not used): Chester, Brady, Harper (gk),, Ramirez.
MAN OF THE MATCH: PAPISS Cisse – if there was a time to rediscover his scoring touch than this was it and he spared his manager’s blushes.
