00:00Newcastle United 5 Crystal Palace 0 that was how we finished here at St James's Park after a simply blistering few minutes at the end of the first half when Newcastle scored 3 goals saved a penalty and that was really when the game was won of course it was 4-0 half time but yeah Newcastle has scored 9 goals now at St James's Park in just a matter of days go up to 3rd in the Premier League table yeah it was a brilliant result for Newcastle in a game which you know I said before the game I think many people were fearing that they certainly were going to get a bigger test
00:29than they got on Sunday but also you know Crystal Palace a brilliant away wreck on recent times you did think how they would give them problems but they didn't really cause Newcastle any issues now of course you can look back to the penalty as the real changing moment but I think even if that goes in I think Newcastle would have pressed home their advantage Alexander Easton missed a number of chances to score so yeah it was a weird game for the first bit I think Newcastle started on top and then Palace grew into it a little bit but the first goal comes from Jacob Murphy who must have been
00:59watching clips of Sandro Tonali's goal against Brentford this time at the other end of the pitch first of all the move sees Bruno Newcastle break with Bruno with Isak and Barnes to pass to his ball gets intercepted by Palace Bruno does well to win it back recycles it out to Trippier Trippier plays it at Murphy Murphy looks like he's going to cross it across the box looks like he's going to leather a ball across the box and all of a sudden he shoots hits goes into the near post Dean Henderson thinks Coulton wears a bit like Mark Flecken was for the Brentford for that Tonali goal
01:29Newcastle a 1-0 up probably deserved I think at that point then again Oliver Glasner you know he's a very tactically astute manager you know he will want his team to find ways to beat Newcastle and I think they got in there there was a free kick here big long delivery high delivery Nick Pope was tempted to come to it he came almost to the edge of the box and flapped at it but I think got a touch of the ball ball went out the referee stopped the game for a head injury for Chris Richards
01:59in the decision now this is a really controversial and I'm really glad it didn't impact the result of the game it's I don't think it was a penalty I would love to yeah what you think it was but I don't think it was a penalty I think Nick Pope gets enough of the ball to warrant it not being a penalty the Premier League match centre after I said it was you know that sufficient contact for a penalty Darren England goes over and checks him on it there now from our position he checks in the other side of the pitch he did seem to check a long time for that you know he seemed to check three or four replays probably more before giving the decision but eventually it was given roundly booed by Newcastle fans
02:29especially when it was shown on the big screen but you know I think all of that probably took four or five minutes in total Eberichi Eze steps up to take the penalty and it's probably one of the worst penalties I've seen in St James Park he stutters I think he looks for Pope to go one way before going the other and Pope does start going to what would be his right Pope's right Eberichi Eze's left and then Eze tries to slide the ball into what I assume he's here for the corner but he hits it just down the middle and Pope's able to turn enough to get the ball and save the penalty it was a rubbish penalty to be fair I can't deny
02:59I think he'll know that and yeah Newcastle might escape that and two minutes later it's 2-0 that's a quick you know the fine margin of football
03:05Harvey Barnes is released by Livermanto on the left he tries to pull it back for someone in the box I think it was Isaac waiting for it all of a sudden it's flexed up Mark Gahey and goes in that's the second own goal Gahey scored against Newcastle this year of course he got the own goal at St James Park in the reverse fixture
03:20and yeah so from potentially staring 1-1 or being a penalty away from 1-1 Newcastle then 2-0 up within a matter of minutes that was 3 not long after Harvey Barnes again it was a brilliant counter attack from Newcastle
03:32Thandro Tonali with the ball he has Isaac he's facing Isaac and he has Harvey Barnes in the middle he does a lovely reverse pass through to Barnes Barnes does what he does he takes a defender fakes to go on the inside defender buys it he shifts it on his left and fires into the bottom corner you all know the finishing capabilities of Barnes it was a brilliant finish from a brilliant finisher
03:49and yeah 3-0 you knew at that point that the game was probably over but Newcastle weren't over the scoring they weren't even over the scoring in that half
03:57they get a free kick on the right triple eye lays it at Jacob Murphy Jacob Murphy was an absolutely brilliant ball Jacob Murphy was brilliant I haven't mentioned his name too much bar his first goal but he was fantastic at the end he had a really good game in his palace last day he's had a really good last few games and he had a really good game at the end this ball from Murphy was perfect
04:13it was just exactly where you want Fabian where Fabian Sherwood want it and Sherwood just delicately heads it into the back post it was a brilliant finish from her
04:20sorry brilliant finish across from Murphy yeah it was a fantastic fantastic move and that's exactly what you want to do you know they're going to half time 4-0
04:28it could have been more Alexander's had a couple of chances before that but yeah 4-0 half time that was 5-0 Isaac finally got his goal again he missed it he missed another glaring opportunity
04:38well work free kick burn knocks it onto him and a bit like the goal if you remember Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the club where the ball came to him and he
04:45finds the top one of this time he finds it straight at Henderson but then after that Newcastle win the ball up high it was a bit like the goal against Manchester United where
04:53Joel Linton wins it hard they stand out ahead he tackles the palace player force it exactly at the edge of the box doesn't even take a touch just curls it in past Henderson it was yeah
05:02it was a finish of a striker with confidence but someone who you clearly think if he thinks about it too much might get in his head
05:08we've seen he's like missed a lot of one-on-ones recently but he didn't have anything about that he just knew where you want to put it it was a
05:12brilliant finish and from them Jason Tindall rang the changes not really surprising he took Joel Linton off
05:17he was a call to people well was one booking away from suspension that is now you know thresholds gone so he
05:21won't be suspended he took Isaac off obviously not risking injuries for him and Bruno was taken off as well
05:28towards the end Trippi are taken off towards the end so yeah it was it was and then they didn't do anything for the last half an hour
05:35there was a signal from Tindall um about sort of 15 minutes towards he he got down burn over and said
05:40you know some of the effects have just calmed it down you know just and they just played it round
05:44at Palace grew into it in the last 10 probably should have scored but you know the Newcastle didn't have
05:48to they were 5-0 by that point they didn't have to overexert with the game against Aston Villa of course
05:52on Saturday big matches to come uh after that they've obviously got Ipswich here but then they've got
05:57Brighton Chelsea Arsenal and then Everton to uh round off the season so you know massive games coming up
06:03it's the right thing to do to sort of take the foot off the gas and yeah it was just exactly what
06:06you wanted for the um for you know for another day at C&J's Park another huge win and yeah third
06:13place the Premier League can't complain at that they've got an hour gap between them them Chelsea
06:16and Aston Villa who are sort of you know the last two in that race even if they lose against Aston Villa
06:20on Saturday they're still going to be ahead of the villains so yeah it was a massive win today and a
06:24massive statement you guys will oh no one wants to play in Newcastle at the minute and certainly beating
06:27you know Palace five mills you can make a huge statement so they've got to go and back it up at Aston Villa but
06:32they've set themselves perfectly set themselves up perfectly for that with a win tonight so yeah
06:35Newcastle five Crystal Palace nil and a pretty much perfect night for Jason Tindall's side
