Just watched the whole game today, he seemed to enjoy a free role from behind Thompson along with McGowan on the other side (more of a 4-3-2-1 than 4-3-3). Didn't stick to the touchline by any means, drifted about plenty and looked to get into the box when he could as well. Most impressed I've been by him so far, but the whole team played far better in that new shape.
Newton did tremendously for the second goal as well, lovely ball up the flank. He looked a different player moved inside and was a good driving force for them on the counter - has been playing right of midfield in a 4-4-2 lately.
