Substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a brace to inspire Crystal Palace to a stunning comeback victory over Newcastle, turning the game on its head after Will Osula's first-half goal had given the visitors the lead. Mateta's introduction proved pivotal as he first headed in to level the score and then sealed the win with a penalty in injury time, condemning Newcastle to a disappointing defeat. The loss adds to the pressure on Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, whose team has now dropped 25 points from winning positions this season, the highest tally in the Premier League. Palace, meanwhile, leaps into 13th place, leapfrogging Newcastle on goal difference, as they continue their push up the table.
