Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Selhurst Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Newcastle United FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Patrick van Aanholt suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 17' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Federico Fernandez.
- 22' Newcastle United FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 27' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Crystal Palace FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 32' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Roy Hodgson will be considering his options from the bench.
- 37' Supporters expect more eagerness from Andros Townsend, as he is very good at scoring at Selhurst Park with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 42' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 47' Cheikhou Kouyate has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 17 cards already picked up this season.
- 52' The energy levels are beginning to show. Steve Bruce might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 57' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 60' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Sean Longstaff.
- 65' Newcastle United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 65.
- 66' Time for substitution for Crystal Palace FC. Jordan Ayew is replaced by Christian Benteke.
- 67' Jairo Riedewald gets the nod from Crystal Palace FC. He replaces Andros Townsend and will look to change the dynamic.
- 68' Matt Ritchie is replacing Miguel Almiron for the Newcastle United FC side.
- 73' It looks surprising Crystal Palace FC does not make any changes. Ciaran Clark has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 77' The referee calls foul for Scott Dann. He receives a Yellow card.
- 82' The whistle greets James McArthur as he departs to be replaced by Michy Batshuayi.
- 87' Joelinton has been relatively quiet despite scoring 41 goals in his last 421 appearances.
- 88' Goal! Callum Wilson scores his 78 goal in 348 matches.
- 89' The deadlock is broken! Joelinton gets on the scoresheet on 89 minutes.
- 90' Jeffrey Schlupp is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
- 90' Newcastle United FC ring the changes. Joelinton has done his job and it is now time for Fabian Schar to step up.
- With this win, Newcastle United FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
