The Colombian full-back, who missed a glorious chance earlier to give the hosts a first-half lead, beat Nick Pope with a towering far-post header with just over 90 seconds of stoppage time left to play.

Newcastle produced an expected goals tally (xG) of just 0.02 across the match, with just one shot in 90 minutes. Palace, in contrast, produced 16 shots — only denied by their own wastefulness, blocks from Burn and Schar, and two excellent Nick Pope saves.

In spite of their injury woes, Newcastle have been the better side so far. As things stand Opta's live win predictor suggests that the Magpies have a 42% chance of victory; Crystal Palace's chance of picking up three points is rated at 29%.
