"The hosts had to be patient, however, with Anthony Gordon and Joelinton both seeing first-half goals ruled out for offside. Gordon tapped into an open net 19 minutes in off Yoane Wissa's unselfish centre, though the goal was disallowed following a VAR review, while Joelinton had strayed offside before cushioning Fabian Schar's deep pass and drilling past Dean Henderson minutes before the break."
"The Magpies' breakthrough finally arrived in the 71st minute, when Guimaraes reacted quickest to nod home from close range off Lewis Miley's return pass after Palace failed to fully clear their lines. Newcastle doubled their advantage seven minutes later as Guimaraes' corner caused some heavy chaos inside the box, opening the door for Malick Thiaw to slide the ball past Henderson amid a scramble."
Newcastle United moved into the Premier League top half with a 2-0 home win over Crystal Palace. Anthony Gordon and Joelinton had first-half goals ruled out for offside after VAR reviews. Bruno Guimaraes opened the scoring in the 71st minute by nodding home Lewis Miley's return pass from close range. Seven minutes later Guimaraes' corner led to chaos in the box and Malick Thiaw slid the ball past Dean Henderson to double the lead. Palace's best chance came at the end of the first half when Will Hughes' low effort went narrowly wide. Newcastle generated 1.88 xG to Palace's 0.70 and remain unbeaten in seven home league matches (W5 D2).
