Newcastle United Unbeaten Run Halted by Crystal Palace Defeat

Newcastle United unbeaten streak in the Premier League came to an end with a 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace. Jean-Philippe Mateta scored early in the second half while Newcastle penalty appeal was denied by VAR. Coach Eddie Howe expressed uncertainty about the decision while defender Fabian Schar believed it was clear-cut.

Despite the contentious call, Newcastle acknowledged their overall performance fell short. Mateta sealed Palace win late in the game dropping Newcastle to seventh in the league table. However, they remain in contention for Europa Conference League qualification. Their next match is against Sheffield United at St James’ Park.
