Jean-Philippe Mateta was the hero for Crystal Palace, netting a brace of goals late in the game to secure a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory against Newcastle United at Selhurst Park. This win caps off a remarkable week for Crystal Palace.
Newcastle United, who had previously been indebted to goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for a crucial double save, appeared to be heading towards a recovery after their recent Tyne-Wear Derby loss. However, Mateta’s decisive strikes in the closing stages of the match denied them any points.
