Crystal Palace stun Newcastle late

Mateta's brace, including the winning spot-kick in the fourth minute of stoppage time, overturned an early lead from William Osula.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe admitted his side looked 'weak' and 'soft' as they suffered their third successive defeat.

The win moves Palace further away from the relegation zone and provides a major boost for manager Oliver Glasner.

Newcastle's fading form has raised questions about the team's mentality and depth as the season reaches its conclusion.
