Newcastle United rounded off the festive schedule in positive fashion by securing another Premier League victory, this time at the expense of Crystal Palace.
The Magpies recorded consecutive league wins with a 2–0 success at St James’ Park, continuing their upward momentum in front of the home crowd.
The contest was finely balanced during the first half, with neither side able to gain clear control. However, Newcastle found another gear after the break and made their pressure count late on. Bruno Guimarães opened the scoring with a well-timed header at the Gallowgate End — a finish that has become increasingly familiar this season — marking his seventh goal of the campaign.
Moments later, Malick Thiaw added a second to put the result beyond doubt, sealing all three points for Eddie Howe’s side.
The win lifts Newcastle into the top half of the Premier League table and adds further encouragement as the season progresses.
Speaking after the match, head coach Eddie Howe reflected on the performance and outcome, with his full post-match comments expected to follow.
