Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner may have been joking when he said Daniel Munoz could have left Selhurst Park with the match ball - but the Colombian wing-back could easily have had a hat-trick against Newcastle on Saturday.

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.

Struggling Crystal Palace come up against an unpredictable Newcastle side in this key Premier League clash for both sides at Selhurst Park. With just one victory in the league so far this season and currently 19th in the table,

Newcastle are only the eighth side on record (from the 2003-04 season) to avoid defeat in a Premier League game in which they attempted one shot or less, and the first since Leicester against the Magpies in May 2023.

The in-form forward fired the hosts ahead after the half-hour mark, grabbing his fourth goal in his last four league outings at under-21 level, steering the ball home from Matt Targett's free-kick.
