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

Jean-Philippe Mateta came off the bench to score a crucial double, securing a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory for Crystal Palace over Newcastle. The win keeps the pressure on Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, whose side has now dropped 25 points from winning positions this season. Palace's triumph was sealed when Mateta headed in an equalizer before converting a penalty in injury time, capping a remarkable turnaround after Will Osula had given Newcastle a first-half lead. The result sees Palace leapfrog Newcastle into 13th place, while the Magpies' inconsistent form continues to hinder their push for European football next season.
