Franca turns and drives into open space before shooting from 30 yards, but the Palace substitute's effort is always rising as it sails beyond the uprights!

SAVED!!! Newcastle burst clear at the other end again, as Almiron is put through on goal. Mitchell gets across to force him wide, and the eventual shot from the Paraguayan is straight at Johnstone, who makes the save!

WIDE!!! Palace win a corner, which is flicked on at the front post by Ayew. Doucoure's follow-up from the edge of the box is blocked and drops to Guehi, who can only fire wide from close range! That passage of play sums up the Eagles' performance today - they're just not at the races.
