Newcastle couldn’t turn possession and chances into three points at Selhurst Park. They take an away point to stretch the unbeaten streak in the league to 15 which is a club record.
No changes were made after a first-half stalemate with Allan Saint-Maximin doing individual warm-ups during the break. Newcastle immediately got the ball into the box but had their shot blocked and cleared.
Wilson had a crack at goal in the 52nd minute from a corner routine. Trippier pulled away after a short corner and whipped a delivery into the box. Wilson flashed his header straight into the waiting hands of Guaita.
Newcastle again sent an effort straight to the Palace keeper a few minutes later. On a break, Almiron peeled away from two Eagles and found Joelinton down the left. The Brazilian struck his shot well but it was straight to Guaita.
In the 64th minute, Palace continued to defend well but were conceding a lot of set-pieces. From yet another corner, Newcastle came tantalizingly close to a breakthrough. Trippier’s delivery was met by Botman, whose header flashed wide of the near post.
In the 69th minute, Howe brought on the arsenal. Allan Saint-Maximin and Alexander Isak made their entrances as Willock and Wilson made way. Saint-Maximin took up duties on the left pushing Joelinton into the midfield three.
Nick Pope was forced to make a critical save in the 73rd minute. Odsonne Edouard and Burn vied for a ball in the box. It was deflected and Jean-Philippe Mateta latched onto it with a blistering effort that Pope parried over the bar. It was Palace’s first effort on target.
Trippier put another enticing ball into the box after some good buildup play in the 79th minute. Almiron played Trippier down the right and his measured cross was met by Isak. The Swede’s header was straight to Guaita; a common refrain for the evening.
Howe threw Jacob Murphy on in the 85th minute for Miguel Almiron to get some fresh legs down the right flank. A few minutes later Murphy was down the right and flashed a delivery across the 6-yard box just missing two Magpies before Saint-Maximin had his shot blocked behind for a corner.
The match ended in another scoreless stalemate between the two clubs. Newcastle move to third in the table with the disappointing result. The Magpies had over 60% possession with 16 shots and 15 corners but no goals.

Comment #3Very wasteful in the final third. A frustrating match. A draw a fair result in the end as we could have lost it if not for Pope pulling off a worldie.

Comment #11Don’t think it was we were unable to break them fine – we missed too many chances especially with soft headers – need to attack the ball from the corners instead of standing still

Comment #15We played some lovely intricate stuff (see 79th minute to be exact!), at times and my eyes couldn’t keep up! (Could have been the Amsel) remembering where we were a year ago puts it in perspective. Best defensive record in the league and beyond. Pope has some wrists on him! Palace are a very decent team and a decent result. No losses, clean sheet away and a semi on Tuesday, who’s not happy?

Comment #18Repost
I said pre match i wouldn`t be surprised if this match ended 0-0 but also said if we score we would win 0-1 unfortunately we just couldn`t find that crucial goal this evening. Fair play to Palace and Patrick Vieira they put up stubborn resistance and probably deserved the point.

Comment #19Another dominant display, just need to find that clinical finishing again. Be awesome to bring in a creative player to try and unlock low block defences.
But overall another decent dominant display and just struggled to take some good chances. POTM for me has to be Schar, thought he didn’t out a foot wrong and was also linking play up well when he ventured further forward. Was superb yet again!

Comment #20Moaners and groaners IN!
I’m ok with the result tbh, but really folks, don’t tell others how to feel about a game.
Let them decide!
For me, we’re dominating teams, dominating possession…. I was so used to the opposite I’m just thrilled every time I see this.

Comment #22Been reading these comments all through the match. What happened to us fans only wanting a team that competes? We are 3rd in the Prem, with a side put together only 12 months ago.
Some of u have short memories.
Spend, spend spend? I give you Chelsea, Everton, Nottingham Forest……where are they?

Comment #24Sean longstaff worst footballer I’ve ever seen can’t pass can’t shoot can’t cross only thing he can do is run. Eddie is being to loyal to some of the players now and he’s playing to safe in games no one’s running into the box anymore just Wilson.
Longstaff out of the team now no point being there if he can’t use he’s feet and brain he’s had long enough to improve but just seems to get worse every game marathon men win u nothing

Comment #25My sentiments exactly Ottawa – it’s like the last 14 yearsnever happened all of a sudden- it’s madness – we step up the table away and you get this vitriol on here, it beggars belief ….. enjoy it lads – 40 years I’ve been supporting and it’s not often we have been in this position at all – let that sink in eh

Howay we are 3rd, in the Semis of a cup, 7 clean sheets in a row, making teams defend for their lives. Go back just pre TO go now, take a breather and think about where we were to where we are now. Even the best teams don’t win every game. We played well this evening just not clinical when it mattered and it happens. Another game and then chances fly in the net. We are a team on the up. Just stop being a killjoy.
The powers that be will see we need that player(s) that can unlock a defence and finish. They will have this noted.

Comment #35It’s funny….we have fans who complain about scoreless draws….and fans who complain about fans who complain.
I’m one of the ones who don’t like scoreless draws.
Without Miggy banging in goals, Eddie’s preferred 11 is toothless. Get Isak on the field for more than 20 minutes.

Comment #38Ap – that’s some Andrew Tate shyte mate – we are progressing, not only progressing but at a huge rate – look at the table from last year this time fella……. All this social media berlocks is tainting society’s grasp of what hard work ans endeavor is as everything is bitesize and instant – like food for a bairn – spoon fed and puréed.

Before moaners continue moaning..
– 15 games unbeaten – club record!!
– Another clean sheet.
– if that is not sufficient check the league table.
Not the perfect result today but these things happen
Why do we have fans acting like Man City fans at home when they don’t win? Pep made a valid point the other night.
