Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace
The full-time whistle goes, as Newcastle return to winning ways with a resounding 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace! With the majority of the damage done via three first-half goals, the second period played out in much the same fashion, with the Magpies dominating the ball and most of the chances. Several Palace blocks denied them early on, but Eddie Howe's side struck their fourth on 66 minutes as Callum Wilson finished off a rapid-fire counter-attack. Almiron spurned a late opportunity to score a fifth for the Magpies, and while Palace produced half-chances through Guehi, Rak-Sakyi and Edoaurd, Pope was only tested by the latter's free-kick. Newcastle take all three points and climb to fifth in the table with the daunting task of facing Arsenal next up, while the Eagles remain 10th having now won, drawn and lost three each of their nine matches.

There's a break in play following an injury to Palace forward Edouard, who is down in Newcastle's box receiving treatment. He's eventually back on his feet though, and we're cleared to continue.

We're into four additional minutes at the end of the second half, which Newcastle players and fans alike will certainly enjoy as they close in on three vital points.

BLOCKED!! Palace make a late charge on the counter and Franca releases Rak-Sakyi. He skips past Schar before shooting from a tight angle, but the Magpies defender slides in to make a timely block!

We're almost at the 90, with Newcastle closing in on a comfortable victory. That shaky opening few weeks which featured three straight losses now looks light years away, and with four wins in five about to be sealed, it's a good time for those in black and white.

Rak-Sakyi and Ward combine down the right as the latter fires a cross towards the back post, and despite being under no pressure whatsoever, Livramento's poor first touch gifts Palace a corner!

SAVED!!! The Eagles win a free-kick 25 yards out, and Edouard fancies his chances. The shot appears destined for the top corner, but Pope stretches and sticks out a big right hand to tip the ball past the post!

Palace are hardly laying a glove on Newcastle at the moment, and are largely chasing shadows at 4-0 down. Their inconsistent form this season looks set to continue, with the scoreline and manner of defeat surely a worry despite it only being their third of the campaign.
