Newcastle beat Crystal Palace to ease pressure on Jaissle

Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 16:19 · Archive

Newcastle defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 at Selhurst Park, with William Osula and Harvey Barnes scoring early in the second half. Osula opened the scoring less than two minutes after the restart, before Barnes added a second goal two minutes before the hour mark. The first half was largely even, with few clear chances for either side, though Palace had some opportunities to take the lead.

Newcastle's victory came on the back of a strong defensive performance. The defensive partnership of Fabian Schar and Dan Burn marshalled Palace's attack effectively, with Schar making 13 defensive contributions and nine clearances whilst remaining unbeaten in one-on-one situations. Nico Gonzalez and Joelinton worked hard in midfield to support the backline. Newcastle had amassed less than one expected goal but converted their opportunities clinically. The win took Newcastle to seventh in the Premier League table.

Crystal Palace's loss piles further pressure on manager Pierre Sage following a 5-0 defeat to Brighton the previous Sunday. Palace had shown signs of recovery with a 2-2 draw in the Europa League against Besiktas on Thursday, but this home defeat represents a setback. Newcastle's Jaissle, meanwhile, saw pressure ease on his position following the disciplined display.
