Crystal Palace's 2-0 home defeat by Newcastle leaves Pierre Sage under significant pressure, with the Eagles having won just two of eight Premier League games and conceding 50 top-flight goals in 2026 — at least four more than any other side. Summer sales of Maxence Lacroix and Daniel Muñoz, a heavy loss at Brighton and a late Europa League collapse at Besiktas have deepened the discontent at Selhurst Park.
Newcastle United beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at Selhurst Park, ending a run of back-to-back Premier League defeats through second-half goals from William Osula and Harvey Barnes. Osula's opener came two minutes after half-time from a Jacob Murphy cross, while Joe Willock had a goal ruled out for offside. Newcastle climb to seventh, with Palace's Pierre Sage left under heavy pressure after another flat display.

Coventry City scored four times to beat Newcastle United 4-1, claim their first home Premier League win since returning to the top flight and move out of the relegation zone.

Joe Willock and Lewis Hall gave Newcastle a two-goal lead inside seven minutes, and despite Mohamed-Ali Cho’s second-half reply and sustained Hull pressure, Newcastle held on for a morale-boosting Premier League victory.
