Crystal Palace 2-1 Newcastle - the fans' verdict

Yahoo Sports

[BBC] We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Newcastle . Here are some of your comments: Crystal Palace fans Peter: Thought Jean-Philippe Mateta was back to his best, so heartiest congrats to him. Oliver Glasner made the right changes on the hour mark, and it was most definitely a change to get a result after a European game previously.

COYP. Lee: After a great start to the season, I began to wonder how we could stretch those good results out. But like every team in this league, you have your purple patches and your lean spells.

It feels a bit like last season again – that belief is back. So I'm just going to celebrate and dance to my Glitch Disco remix! Rich: Previously been critical of Glasner's substitutions, but against Newcastle he got them spot on.

Mateta, Adam Wharton, Daichi Kamada and Ismaila Sarr gave the side renewed energy and impetus and made it look like Newcastle were the team that had just played on Thursday evening. Fully deserved three points in front of a raucous crowd at the end. Steve: Credit to Palace for a battling performance.

So encouraging to see the team fight back from a losing position. The substitutions made such a big difference, and Mateta was like the Mateta of old. The run-in to the end of the season is looking so much brighter now.
