Howe Reaction Speaks Volumes as Pressure Ramps up on Newcastle Boss

Mateta’s late penalty gave Palace only their second Premier League home win since November and pushed Newcastle’s European hopes further off track.

  • On Saturday, Crystal Palace secured a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United at Selhurst Park, with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring the decisive penalty in stoppage time.
  • Newcastle United initially led in the 43rd minute through William Osula's improvised finish, but Eddie Howe's side struggled to maintain control after the break as Palace improved.
  • Sven Botman conceded the decisive penalty for pulling Jefferson Lerma's shirt in the final minute. Analyst Carragher called it "a silly thing for Botman to do."
  • Newcastle dropped to 14th place following the defeat, with manager Eddie Howe admitting the late concession was "really, really poor" from his side's perspective.
  • Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale insisted the squad will continue fighting for European positions despite remaining five points behind seventh-placed Brentford in the standings.
