Newcastle Beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at Selhurst Park

Newcastle United earned a valuable 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League, scoring twice after the break to climb to seventh in the standings. The result provided a welcome boost for manager Matthias Jaissle after a difficult run of results, while Palace remain close to the relegation zone.

Crystal Palace started brightly under pressure-hit manager Pierre Sage, with Axel Disasi and Jean-Philippe Mateta both missing opportunities to put the hosts ahead. However, Newcastle grew into the contest and delivered a decisive response after half-time.

Just two minutes into the second half, Jacob Murphy produced an excellent cross for William Osula, who finished from close range to give the visitors the lead. Newcastle continued to threaten, although Joe Willock had a goal ruled out for offside following a VAR review.

The visitors eventually doubled their advantage in the 58th minute. Amar Dedić delivered the ball into Harvey Barnes, who finished clinically to make it 2-0. Crystal Palace attempted to fight back, with substitute Dario Osorio forcing goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček into an important save, but Newcastle held firm to claim all three points. The defeat leaves Palace only one point above the relegation zone, increasing the pressure on their manager.
