Daniel Munoz scored in stoppage time to deliver Crystal Palace a well-deserved point against sluggish Newcastle United in a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Newcastle rode a Marc Guehi own goal and their luck into stoppage time, but had three points in the bag until the fourth minute of stoppage time.
Crystal Palace took 16 shots but was often denied by Newcastle keeper Nick Pope and his block-happy defenders, but Guehi’s clipped cross was splendid and Munoz — who earlier missed a brilliant chance to equalize for the Eagles — headed home with vigor.
The visitors managed just a single shot and 0.02 xG in the draw, which comes on the heels of miserable home loss to West Ham and stops the Magpies from moving to the precipice of the top four. Eddie Howe’s team has 19 points, good for 10th place.
Palace leapfrog Ipswich and Wolves to go 17th with their nine points, leading the aforementioned sides via goal differential.
Justice served late as Glasner, Howe on alternate paths
Crystal Palace’s season so far has been one of misfortune — the Eagles have scored almost nine goals fewer than their expected goals total (though they’ve got some rub of the green at the other end). So for Oliver Glasner’s men to dominate a superior team at home, limiting the Magpies to a single shot, and be trailing in stoppage time felt a bit cruel. Glasner raced down the touch line to celebrate with his team in the corner, then propping up the overjoyed crowd as he went back to his spot. He’s a good coach, and his team deserved three points.
Newcastle have also been a bit unlucky in front of goals but are in the bottom third in xG anyway. Eddie Howe has struggled to fit pieces to his system and refuses to alter his system, and that should have him in a dicey position. The Magpies have weather defensive injuries like that to Sven Botman but there’s a measure of luck in that as they’ve conceded more than seven xGA than actual goals. Palace should be on the way up while Newcastle have walked right up to the throne room and threw away a chance to enter the top four by taking one of six points from West Ham and Palace.

A little chaotic early
Newcastle began in possession but there are two all-action midfields here, and play has been an intriguing watch.
Sandro Tonali and Jean-Philippe Mateta look bright early.
Newcastle’s Joe Willock and Alexander Isak have both slumped to the turf in the first 11 minutes, only to play on. Something to watch.
Crystal Palace lineup
Henderson, Munoz, Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi, Mitchell, Lerma, Hughes, Eze, Mateta, Sarr
Newcastle United lineup
Pope, Hall, Schar, Burn, Livramento, Tonali, Guimaraes, Willock, Joelinton, Gordon, Isak
Crystal Palace team news, focus
Wharton’s absence is complicated by Kamada’s suspension but let’s be real — all eyes are on any injury to Eberechi Eze. Whether he can go will be massive.
OUT: Adam Wharton (groin), Chadi Riad (knee), Rob Holding (undisclosed), Matheus Franca (groin), Eddie Nketiah (hamstring), Daichi Kamada (suspension) | QUESTIONABLE: Eberechi Eze (thigh).
Newcastle United team news, focus
The Magpies get Dan Burn back from suspension but could be without ever-present midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. That part of the pitch has been Howe’s biggest headache, as he hasn’t found the right mix between Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock, and Joelinton. A Guimaraes injury would likely force Howe to starting Tonali, something wanted by many in the Toon Army.
OUT: Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Emil Krafth (shoulder) | QUESTIONABLE: Joe Willock (calf), Bruno Guimaraes (glute)
Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United prediction
This can be a very a tight match, but it feels silly to bet against a bounce back performance from the Magpies. It seems like a split would be a fair result. Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle United.
