What a Night at St. James’ Park!
If you’re a Newcastle fan, you’re probably still buzzing after last night’s game. The Magpies put on a show, crushing Crystal Palace 5-0 and jumping to third in the Premier League table. It was one of those nights you wish you could bottle up and keep forever!
Who, What, Where, When?
The match took place at St. James’ Park on April 16, 2025. Newcastle United hosted Crystal Palace, and from the very first whistle, it was clear the home side meant business. With this win, Newcastle have now racked up six victories in a row. Talk about momentum!
How Did It Happen?
It was goals galore for Newcastle, with Jacob Murphy getting the party started. Murphy told Sky Sports after the game, “When the juice is flowing, you’ve just got to hit it!” And hit it he did. The team looked sharp, confident, and hungry for more.
Harvey Barnes, another standout performer, said, “We spoke the other day about building on results, today was a perfect example. We started the game so well and got a comfortable lead.” It’s clear the squad is feeling positive and playing for each other—even with manager Eddie Howe recovering off the pitch.
Crystal Palace’s Tough Night
It wasn’t a fun evening for Palace fans. The Eagles struggled to keep up, and to make matters worse, Marc Guéhi scored an own goal—his second against Newcastle this season. Ouch! According to stats, Newcastle dominated possession (60% to 40%) and had more shots on target. Sometimes, things just don’t go your way.
What’s Next?
With this win, Newcastle are now eyeing Arsenal and even a Champions League spot. Their next six games will be crucial, with tough fixtures against Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Arsenal coming up. Can they keep this form going? Only time will tell, but right now, the Toon Army has every reason to dream big.
Final Thoughts
Jamie Redknapp summed it up best on Sky Sports: “They have been magnificent.” If Newcastle can keep this up, who knows what the end of the season will bring? For now, let’s just enjoy the ride!
