Mateta's Second-Half Double Inspires Crystal Palace Comeback Against Newcastle

Crystal Palace staged an impressive comeback to defeat Newcastle 2-1, with substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta netting a double. Will Osula had given Newcastle the lead with a scrappy first-half goal, but Mateta's introduction sparked a turnaround. He headed in the equalizer before converting a penalty in injury time to seal the win. The defeat piles pressure on Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, whose side has now dropped 25 points from winning positions this season. Palace, on the other hand, leapfrogs Newcastle into 13th place, while the Magpies' European ambitions continue to dwindle.
