Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Newcastle United FC and Crystal Palace FC has kicked off!
- 2' GOAL! Jonjo Shelvey scores on 2.
- 7' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 12' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Crystal Palace FC that had 336 games and scored 395 goals.
- 17' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 21' What a moment for Jairo Riedewald! That strike on 21 puts his side firmly in control.
- 25' What a strike from Gary Cahill! The score is 1-2.
- 29' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jonjo Shelvey.
- 34' Javier Manquillo, a Spain , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 39' It’s high time Steve Bruce made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 44' Crystal Palace FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 49' Cheikhou Kouyate has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 51' Nathaniel Clyne is having his name booked by the referee on 51.
- 56' Karl Darlow has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 58' Andros Townsend is ready to make an impact after coming on for Wilfried Zaha at the 58 minute mark.

- 73' Another substitution for Crystal Palace FC to replace Michy Batshuayi by Christian Benteke on 73 minute.
- 77' Another change for Newcastle United FC made on 77 minute. Javier Manquillo leaves to be changed by Dwight Gayle.
- 82' 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 Jeff Hendrick suffering a number of foals already.
- 87' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Newcastle United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 89' The crowd applauds Ciaran Clark as he leaves the pitch. Andy Carroll steps in for Newcastle United FC.

- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Crystal Palace FC to claim maximum points.
