Crystal Palace’s difficult run continued with a heavy home defeat against Newcastle in the Premier League. The Eagles were beaten at Selhurst Park as the visitors strengthened their position in the top half of the table.
Osula and Barnes found the net for Newcastle, helping the Magpies move up to seventh place. Palace, meanwhile, remain dangerously close to the relegation zone, with only one point separating them from the bottom three.
The result increases the pressure on Pierre Sage, who is described as being in serious danger after another damaging loss. The defeat also leaves Palace needing a response in their next league fixture.
The Eagles’ next assignment will come away from home against Tottenham. With their margin above the relegation places now reduced to a single point, the trip represents another important test for Sage and his team.
