Mateta's Double Strike Seals Dramatic Comeback Win for Crystal Palace Against Newcastle

Crystal Palace staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Newcastle 2-1, with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring a double after coming off the bench. Will Osula had given Newcastle the lead in the first half, but Mateta's introduction turned the game around. He headed in the equalizer and then scored a penalty in injury time to secure the win. The result heaps pressure on Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, whose side has now dropped 25 points from winning positions this season. Palace, on the other hand, moves up to 13th place, leapfrogging Newcastle on goal difference. Mateta's impact was hailed by Palace boss Oliver Glasner, who praised his team's psychological strength in overcoming a tough first half to secure a vital win.
