Premier League Player of the Week: Murphy shines for Newcastle
Jacob Murphy is Flashscore's Premier League Player of the Week following his performance in Newcastle's 4-0 win against Crystal Palace.
The Magpies breezed past Palace on Saturday, netting four times as they continued their rise back toward the top four.
Murphy was the unlikely hero at St. James' Park after scoring the opener and going on to assist another two goals.
His perfect first-time finish caught out Sam Johnstone and nestled in the far corner, and after a short VAR check was allowed to stand.
His performance earned him a rating of 9.3 and will go a long way to helping him solidify his place in the starting XI.
Newcastle are next in action on Wednesday, facing Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
