Jacob Murphy opened the scoring with a stunning strike, followed by goals from Harvey Barnes, Fabian Schär, and an own goal by Marc Guéhi. Alexander Isak added a fifth in the second half, sealing a comprehensive win for Newcastle.
Despite the absence of manager Eddie Howe, who is recovering from pneumonia, the team maintained tactical discipline under assistant coach Jason Tindall. The victory marks Newcastle’s sixth consecutive win across competitions, strengthening their bid for Champions League qualification.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, struggled to find form, missing a crucial penalty opportunity and failing to convert chances, ending a 13-match scoring streak.
