Crystal Palace dealt a serious blow to Newcastle United’s hopes for European qualification with a dramatic 2-1 Premier League comeback win at Selhurst Park on Sunday, 12 April 2026, as Jean-Philippe Mateta scored twice including a 94th-minute penalty to give the home side a result that had seemed very unlikely when the match stood at 1-0 to Newcastle. Will Osula’s 43rd-minute goal had given Newcastle the lead they appeared set to defend, before Mateta’s 80th-minute equaliser and his remarkable penalty in the fourth minute of stoppage time settled the contest in the most dramatic fashion possible.
The match represented a significant contribution to Crystal Palace’s incredible European journey in the 2025-26 season, with Oliver Glasner’s side completing an extraordinary campaign that included reaching the Europa Conference League semi-finals. Palace’s 3-0 victory over Fiorentina at Selhurst Park in the Conference League quarter-final first leg just days before this Premier League encounter had given their supporters and players an extraordinary level of confidence and belief.
Newcastle, who arrived at Selhurst Park looking to maintain their own push for European qualification, found themselves on the wrong end of one of the weekend’s most dramatic conclusions. Mateta’s penalty in the 90th minute plus 4, converting from the spot with the composure of a player who has delivered in the biggest moments throughout the campaign, sent Selhurst Park into jubilation and denied Newcastle the three points they had appeared to have secured.
