Mateta double sinks Newcastle

Crystal Palace fans celebrated a stunning turnaround at Selhurst Park as Jean-Philippe Mateta's brace inspired a win over Newcastle.

After falling behind to a William Osula strike, Palace dominated the second half, with Mateta equalizing before converting a 94th-minute spot-kick.

The loss is the third in a row for Eddie Howe's side, who are now struggling to maintain their position in the top half of the table.

For Palace, the victory provides a significant boost to their morale under manager Oliver Glasner.
