Crystal Palace 2 – 1 Newcastle
Chris Richards played and went the full match in Crystal Palace’s come from behind win against Newcastle United.
William Osula got Newcastle ahead in the 43rd minute with a scrappy opener. Richards had been pulled well wide of central defense, and Osula could slide it home inside the six yard box.
Jean-Philippe Mateta had other plans, coming on in the 65th minute as a super sub. A goal in the 80th minute got the home side levelled with a snap header, but it was the penalty in the closing moments of added time that sealed the deal. After 90+4, Mateta had won the game from a spot kick.
Palace sit in 13th with a game in hand, and those three points could take them as high as 11th place. Next up? A Thursday trip to Fiorentina in the UECL.
