Comments:

League position: 16th Newcastle United had now lost five of last six games in the Premier League (won one). The Magpies had now kept only one clean sheet in their 11 home games so far in this Premier League season; the fewest in the division. Jonjo Shelvey's opener was the fifth goal that United had scored in the first-half of their 22 games so far in this Premier League season.

Comments:

League position: 13th Newcastle United's goal was timed at 71 seconds. It became the quickest goal that Crystal Palace had conceded in a game in the Premier League since Ian Taylor’s opener for Aston Villa on 14 March 1998 (59 seconds). Palace had failed to score in their preceding four away games in all competitions. With his first being scored for Burnley at Stoke City in the League Championship on 3 January 2005, Gary Cahill scored the 50th goal of his career for clubs and country in this game. Crystal Palace named only seven of a possible nine substitutes.
