Jean-Philippe Mateta’s second brace in the space of four days saw Crystal Palace roar past Newcastle United for a third Premier League win in a row.

The Eagles were flying high after two successive Premier League wins against Liverpool and West Ham, and carried that confidence into another impressive performance under Oliver Glasner.

And they deservedly scored just after the break. It was a neat move between Mateta and Jordan Ayew that saw the striker slot home (55). Mateta was then left unmarked for a late second (88), scoring twice for a second Premier League match in a row.

In just nine appearances, he has scored more Premier League goals under Oliver Glasner (8) than he did under either Roy Hodgson (5 in 35 games) or Patrick Vieira (6 in 44).

Newcastle never really got going despite an 11-day break after their 4-0 win against Tottenham, although did have a late penalty appeal waved away by the officials and VAR.

They slip into seventh, three points behind Manchester United – who beat Sheffield United on Wednesday – and two ahead of West Ham. Crystal Palace remain in 14th on 39 points.
