Mateta's Late Double Seals Dramatic Comeback Win for Crystal Palace Over Newcastle

Substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta scored twice, including a stoppage-time penalty, as Crystal Palace came from behind to beat Newcastle 2-1 at Selhurst Park. Will Osula had given Newcastle the lead with a scrappy first-half goal, but Mateta's introduction sparked a Palace resurgence. The Frenchman headed in an equalizer before slotting home a penalty in injury time to complete the turnaround. The victory lifted Palace above Newcastle into 13th place in the Premier League table, while the Magpies' inconsistent form continued, piling pressure on manager Eddie Howe. Newcastle have now dropped 25 points from winning positions this season, the most in the league.
