Substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a crucial double to help Crystal Palace secure a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Newcastle, heaping pressure on Magpies boss Eddie Howe. Will Osula's scrappy first-half goal had given Newcastle the lead, but Mateta's introduction changed the game.
He headed in the equalizer before converting a penalty in injury time to complete the turnaround. The defeat leaves Newcastle's European ambitions hanging by a thread, while Palace leapfrogs them into 13th place in the Premier League table. Newcastle's inability to hold onto a lead has been a recurring theme this season, with the team dropping 25 points from winning positions - the most in the league.
