Crystal Palace 2-0 Newcastle: Key stats
Here are the key facts and figures from Crystal Palace's 2-0 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Crystal Palace have won three successive Premier League games for the first time since April 2023, while it is as many wins as in their previous 20 matches in the competition (D6 L11).
Newcastle have lost eight of their past 11 Premier League away games (W3), while they have now lost on four occasions in London in the league this term, only doing so more times in a Premier League season in 2000-01 and 2005-06 (both five).
Since Oliver Glasner's first league game in charge (24 February), only Cole Palmer (10) has scored more goals in the competition than Jean-Philippe Mateta (eight). Indeed, he is just the fourth player to net at least two goals in successive games in the competition for Crystal Palace after Chris Armstrong in September 1992, Connor Wickham in March 2016 and Dwight Gayle in May 2014.
Only against Manchester City in August (one) have Newcastle recorded fewer shots on target in a league game this season than their two against Crystal Palace.
In just nine appearances, Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored more Premier League goals for Crystal Palace under Oliver Glasner (eight) than he did under either Roy Hodgson (five in 35 games) or Patrick Vieira (six in 44).
Jordan Ayew's assist for Jean-Philippe Mateta's opener was his seventh for Crystal Palace in the league this season. Indeed, only Michael Olise (11 in 2022-23), Wilfried Zaha (nine in 2016-17) and Wayne Routledge (nine in 2004-05) have provided more for the Eagles in a single campaign in the competition.
