"Howe's side were forced to wait for their breakthrough, as Anthony Gordon and Joelinton both saw first-half goals ruled out for offside before Guimaraes opened the scoring in the 71st minute. The Brazilian nodded home from close range, while Thiaw doubled their lead seven minutes later, prodding home after a goalmouth scramble from Guimaraes' corner. Having picked up back-to-back wins following their 3-1 rout of Burnley, Howe was pleased but stressed that the Magpies still have work to do ahead of a challenging part of the season."
""It's a better position but we've got more work to do," Howe told Sky Sports. "We've got a massive month ahead. "We need to build some momentum and confidence and today is a big step forward. "It was a tough game, it always is against Palace. Oliver [Glasner] has done an amazing job. "We had to be patient. I think the substitutions made a difference and helped us over the line. "I think they were two good moves for the goals that weren't. We needed that first goal to relax us. I think we got better and better in the game.""
