Crystal Palace managed to salvage a point in their match against Newcastle thanks to a late goal from Daniel Munoz in the 93rd minute. The Eagles dominated the game with 16 shots compared to Newcastle’s one, but struggled to beat goalkeeper Nick Pope for most of the match.
Munoz had a chance to give Palace the lead in the 35th minute but missed the target with his left foot. Newcastle took the lead in the 52nd minute through an own goal from Marc Guehi. Despite several close attempts from Palace, they couldn’t find the back of the net until Munoz’s header in stoppage time.
Eberechi Eze returned to the starting line-up after injury, while Ismaila Sarr impressed with his pace and attacking threat. Manager Oliver Glasner was pleased with the performance but felt that the team deserved more than just a point.
The draw moved Crystal Palace out of the relegation zone, setting up a crucial match against Ipswich Town followed by a tough fixture against Manchester City. The Eagles will be looking to build on their recent performances and secure more points to move further away from the drop zone.
Overall, despite the disappointment of not securing a win, Crystal Palace fans can take heart from the team’s fighting spirit and determination to avoid relegation. With key players returning from injury and upcoming matches against struggling teams, there is hope for a successful season ahead. The late equaliser against Newcastle has given the team a much-needed boost in confidence as they prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.
