Great performances all over the field – tigers they were. Josh WIndass’ double, Cammy Dawson’s reaction saves, the defence.. George Byers’ turn.

Here’s our ratings for Wednesday after their latest – unforgettable – encounter..

Great save on seven minutes at short range to deny Isak did well to do the same again with his knees as the Swede broke clear. The short-range reaction save to deny Anderson was equally good. "One of our own," they sang. Special stuff on a special evening for the lifelong Wednesdayite.

1. Cameron Dawson - 9

A strong and imperious defensive performance that showed Iorfa at his very best. Rusty in possession early doors perhaps - understandable after a little time out - but his defensive numbers on the night were remarkable. Pace, power, aerial ability - Iorfa showed every bit of his talent.

Got to grips with £59m man Isak early doors - and gave little ground. Headed a good Newcastle chance clear after Dawson got himself into a pickle outside his box and made two classy last-ditch tackles. We're going to miss that lad.

Set the tone with an early tackle that took the crowd with it. Just looks very tidy in every aspect and seems to read the game beautifully - what a footballer. Blackpool must have some very good left-backs.

4. Reece James - 9
