Jean-Philippe Mateta was the hero for Crystal Palace, scoring two late goals to secure a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory against Newcastle United at Selhurst Park. The win capped off an excellent week for the Eagles.
Newcastle had initially appeared to be heading towards a positive result, looking to recover from their recent Tyne-Wear Derby loss. However, a stellar performance from Crystal Palace, highlighted by Mateta’s clinical finishing, turned the tide in their favor.
