Crystal Palace Stages Comeback Victory Over Newcastle
Crystal Palace came from behind 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 slotted home a penalty in injury time to complete the comeback. The win lifts Palace above Newcastle in the table, while the defeat adds to the pressure on Newcastle boss Eddie Howe. Newcastle has now dropped 25 points from winning positions this season, the most in the Premier League.
