Crystal Palace continued their impressive run of form with a convincing 2-0 win over Newcastle United at Selhurst Park. Jean-Philippe Mateta was the star of the show, scoring twice to take his tally to four goals in two games.
The Eagles were brimming with confidence after back-to-back wins over Liverpool and West Ham, and it showed in their performance. They dominated proceedings from start to finish, with Mateta and Jordan Ayew causing all sorts of problems for the Newcastle defense.

The win sees Palace move up the table, while Newcastle's hopes of European football next season take a hit. The Magpies were unable to cope with Palace's pace and intensity, and will need to regroup quickly if they are to achieve their goals.
