The Last Word on Newcastle Fans TV

Substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a dramatic late double as Crystal Palace came from behind to beat Newcastle United.

The visitors looked to be on course for a much-needed victory following William Osula's first-half strike at Selhurst Park.

But Newcastle have thrown away more points from winning positions (25) than any other side in the Premier League and Crystal Palace came roaring back late on.

Newcastle breathed a sigh of relief after Jefferson Lerma's header crashed off the crossbar, but the hosts eventually equalised in the 80th minute.

Daniel Munoz broke forward down the right and the defender's cross was coolly hooked back across by Tyrick Mitchell to Mateta, who headed the ball down and into the net to leave manager Oliver Glasner jumping for joy on the touchline.

Opposite number Eddie Howe, by contrast, bowed his head, but the Newcastle head coach's afternoon was about to get even worse.

Referee Andy Madley awarded Crystal Palace a penalty in the first minute of stoppage time when defender Sven Botman pulled Jefferson Lerma's shirt inside the box.

Up stepped Mateta, who picked out the bottom right corner to the delight of the home supporters.

The hosts' win meant they leapfrogged Newcastle into 13th place, as Howe's team fell to 14th.

Brian Brobbey scored a dramatic 90th-minute winner as Sunderland came from behind to beat Newcastle United in a thrilling Tyne-Wear derby at St James' Park.

Newcastle had been on target for their first home victory in this fixture since 2010 when Anthony Gordon gave the hosts a ninth-minute lead.

Sunderland played out from the back but defender Luke O'Nien's pass was intercepted by Nick Woltemade and he gave it to Gordon, who did the rest to score his 17th goal of the season.

The hosts almost made it 2-0 just before the break, but Sven Botman headed against the post following a cross from left-back Lewis Hall, one of five Newcastle players to be included in Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad.

The match was paused early in the second half by referee Anthony Taylor because of reports of discriminatory abuse from the crowd towards Sunderland's Lutsharel Geertruida.

After a three-minute delay in which Taylor spoke to both sets of coaching staff, Geertruida and Granit Xhaka, the visitors equalised in the 57th minute.

Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, another called up by Tuchel, did not get great distance on a punch, the ball was played back into the box, Brobbey chested it goalwards and Dan Burn cleared off the line, only for Chemsdine Talbi to fire in the rebound.

Noah Sadiki had a chance to put Sunderland ahead, only for him to shoot at Ramsdale.

Yet it did not prove costly as Brobbey scored the late winner, to the delight of the away fans, when he converted a rebound from close range after Ramsdale saved his first attempt.

The result gives Sunderland their first league double over Newcastle since 2014-15.

Newcastle United delivered a blow to Chelsea's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League as Anthony Gordon's first-half goal clinched a rare away win at Stamford Bridge.

Gordon slid in the 18th‑minute winner in front of England manager Thomas Tuchel before the Blues were booed off at full-time, losing at home to the Magpies for the first time since 2012.

Chelsea had started on top, missing a free header through Wesley Fofana before creating further chances for Alejandro Garnacho, Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez.

But Gordon opened the scoring by slotting in from close range after Joe Willock broke Chelsea's offside trap when running on to Tino Livramento's pass.

After the goal, the video assistant referee (VAR) waved away a penalty appeal after checking whether Reece James had pulled down Malick Thiaw, but Chelsea threatened again through Palmer, whose shot was saved.

Having made a goalkeeping change for the fourth time in five matches, the newly recalled Rob Sanchez produced an excellent save to deny Jacob Ramsey just before half-time.

Despite trailing at the break, Blues boss Liam Rosenior was proactive, bringing on striker Liam Delap for defender Malo Gusto.

The substitute immediately tested Aaron Ramsdale with a shot from the edge of the box, with Garnacho later having a shot blocked by Newcastle defender Sven Botman.

Referee Paul Tierney, who had been caught in Chelsea's pre-match centre-circle huddle, waved away a penalty shout when Nick Woltemade made contact with Palmer's foot inside the box.

Gordon had another curling effort saved in the 69th minute, with Delap later shooting over on his weaker left foot, flicking a header wide and Trevoh Chalobah heading wide from a corner.

Captain Reece James, who signed a new six-year contract on Friday, struck a free-kick against the post in stoppage time, before Joao Pedro looped a header on to the roof of the net with almost the final kick of the match.

The Blues were booed off having now lost back-to-back matches at home and in Europe.

Newcastle move up to ninth in the Premier League, while Chelsea remain fifth, having played a game more than Liverpool, who host Tottenham on Sunday.

Omar Marmoush haunted Newcastle United once again as Manchester City came from behind to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola had described the prospect of going to a febrile St James' Park as a "nightmare", and it certainly felt like one for the visitors after Harvey Barnes fired Newcastle in front.

But much-changed Manchester City showed their powers of recovery to respond through Savinho and a fine double from Marmoush, who has now scored seven goals against Newcastle in just six games.

Having knocked holders Newcastle out of the Carabao Cup last month, Manchester City have ended Eddie Howe's side's dream of returning to Wembley through the FA Cup.

But it was Newcastle who started this fifth-round tie with real intent and Nick Woltemade saw a header cleared off the line by Nico Gonzalez before the hosts found a way through.

Barnes beat the offside trap to latch on to Sandro Tonali's through ball before taking a touch inside on to his favoured right foot and unleashing a clinical curling effort into the far corner to take the roof off the stadium.

The goal merely awakened Manchester City, though, as the visitors pinned Newcastle back and Guardiola's team drew level following a sustained period of pressure.

Jeremy Doku's drilled cross from the left went all the way through to the unmarked Savinho at the back post, and the ball ended up striking the knee of the Manchester City forward and bobbling over the line.

Stunned Newcastle sorely needed to regroup at half-time, but Manchester City merely picked up from where they left off after the break and took the lead in familiar fashion.

This time Matheus Nunes cut the ball across from the right and there was Marmoush at the far post to lash home after taking a cool touch.

Marmoush grabbed another just a few minutes later after unleashing a rocket from just outside the box, which left Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale with no chance.

Manchester City, in the process, reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for an eighth successive season.

Substitute William Osula scored a superb late winner as 10-man Newcastle United inflicted Michael Carrick's first defeat as Manchester United manager.

Carrick grew up watching Newcastle on the Gallowgate End, and warned his players the stadium was "tough place to go" before a ball had been kicked.

So it proved - even after Newcastle midfielder Jacob Ramsey was sent off in the first half - as the spirited hosts rallied at a raucous St James' Park.

It looked like both sides were going to have to settle for a share of the spoils after Casemiro's header cancelled out Anthony Gordon's penalty.

But Osula cut inside the box and lashed the ball past the stunned Senne Lammens, who could only watch it hit the net in the 90th minute to send the stadium into raptures.

What a contrast to the scenes in first-half stoppage time when Newcastle players, staff and supporters were furious when Ramsey was sent off for a second booking.

Referee Peter Bankes felt the midfielder dived in an attempt to win a penalty when he nudged the ball past goalkeeper Lammens.

But Newcastle quickly channelled their anger and Gordon was awarded a spot-kick after the forward was brought down by Bruno Fernandes inside the box.

Gordon coolly placed his penalty straight down the middle of Lammens' goal to open the scoring and net his 15th goal of the campaign.

But Manchester United have recovered more points (nine) from a losing position than any other side in the Premier League in 2026 for a reason, and Newcastle were not in front for long.

There was still time for another dramatic twist in the ninth minute of first-half stoppage time after Manchester United midfielder Casemiro made a smart run to the near post to head home from Fernandes' free-kick.

Newcastle were quickly pegged back, but the hosts regrouped at the break and a stretching Gordon had a huge chance to put his side 2-1 up, only to fire wide at the back post in the second half.

Manchester United also had a couple of big opportunities to win it late on when Leny Yoro saw a header batted away by Aaron Ramsdale, while substitute Joshua Zirkzee was also denied by the recalled Newcastle goalkeeper.

But it was Osula who had the final say as Newcastle climbed to 12th, while Manchester United stay in third.
