Mateta sends Italy-bound Eagles flying with late double to punish Newcastle United
Eagles of South London Crystal Palace 2-1 Newcastle United Crystal Palace fans, with one eye on a possible gala European final in May, savoured a slice of late drama when substitute Jean Philippe Mateta stroked home a penalty to add to his earlier header to dent Newcastle United. The Eagles came from behind in a game which took a long time to warm up. William Osula put the Tynesiders ahead just before half time, before Palace finished strongly as the second half wore on.
