Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

SAVED!!! A free-kick falls for Almiron to claim the second ball, and he smashes a half-volley into the arms of a diving Guaita! He's in some kind of mood at the moment!

the stadium's in raptures at the moment as Joelinton fouls Kouyate, and he seems to be feeding off the fiery atmosphere at the moment!

Substitution Miguel Ángel Almirón Rejala Joseph Willock

Substitution Allan Saint-Maximin Jacob Murphy

A small fracas breaks out following that foul, involving Zaha, Kouyate and Almiron, but the referee eventually calms the players down to resume proceedings.

Edouard lays a high ball off to Gallagher, who is shunted to the ground by Joelinton's shoulder. It's been feisty so far, but with very little quality in the final third to match the fast pace of the midfield battle.

Guimaraes releases Krafth down the right, and he crosses early for Wood, but it's plucked out of the sky by Guaita and Palace regain possession.

Joelinton and Saint-Maximin both hit the floor following two challenges in the same passage of play, but the two Newcastle players do eventually get back to their feet and play resumes.

Newcastle have won their last five home Premier League matches, last winning six in a row between January and April 2004 under Sir Bobby Robson. Before this run, the Magpies had won just four of their last 24 games at St James’ Park.

Olise looks to flick the ball past Targett and goes down under pressure from him, but the decision goes the way of Newcastle who win a throw-in.
