Newcastle put on an impressive performance as they thrashed Crystal Palace 5-0 on Wednesday, marking their second big win in four days. The team climbed to third place in the Premier League after a dominant display at St. James’ Park.
The first half saw four goals from Jacob Murphy, Harvey Barnes, Fabian Schar, and an own-goal by Marc Guehi, with a penalty by Eberechi Eze saved by Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope. Alexander Isak added a fifth goal in the 58th minute, bringing the team’s winning streak to six in all competitions.
Newcastle’s recent success includes a 4-1 win over Manchester United and a victory over Liverpool in the English League Cup final. The team now sits just four points behind second-place Arsenal and looks to secure a spot in the Champions League next season.
Despite manager Eddie Howe being hospitalized with pneumonia and missing the recent matches, Newcastle continues to perform well under his guidance. Palace, on the other hand, conceded five goals for the second consecutive game after a 5-2 loss to Manchester City.
The impressive victory will surely be a boost for Newcastle as they push for European qualification. The team’s strong form and attacking prowess have solidified their position as contenders in the Premier League.
