and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Newcastle took the lead early in the second half through a Marc Guehi own goal before Daniel Munoz equalised for Palace in the 94th minute of the game. The match saw Newcastle fail to register a shot (excluding blocks) for the first time under Eddie Howe while Palace had 16 shots with four on target.
Despite his side scoring a late equaliser to rescue a point, Palace head coach Glasner felt his side deserved all three.

But Howe somewhat disagreed, suggesting The Magpies should have won after taking the lead and defending it well until stoppage time.
“I can see why [Glasner] would say that from his perspective,” Howe told The Gazette. “Palace were the team with the most shots in the game. But we did what we needed to do as an away team, we defended well and took the lead.
“Our aims then change really, even though we're always looking to score but I thought we managed that second half really well when we scored. We were camped in their half, we had set play after set play and they didn't seem a big threat for us in that moment in the game - it felt like we had dealt with everything they had thrown at us until the last actions.
“I had no issues with the players' performance and from our perspective we should have won that game.”
