Ruthless Newcastle Humiliate Crystal Palace in 5-0 St. James' Showdown
What a night at St. James’ Park! Newcastle United didn’t just win—they dominated Crystal Palace from start to finish in a jaw-dropping 5-0 victory that will surely be remembered as one of their most emphatic performances of the season. From the moment the whistle blew, you could feel the intensity, the energy, and the intent from Eddie Howe’s men—and they delivered in spectacular fashion.
It didn’t take long for Newcastle to make their presence felt. Jacob Murphy opened the scoring in the 14th minute, and that was just the beginning of the onslaught. Palace had a golden chance to equalize through a penalty, but Nick Pope pulled off a brilliant save from Eberechi Eze’s lacklustre effort. That moment became the true turning point.

From there, Newcastle smelled blood. An unfortunate own goal from Marc Guéhi made it 2-0, and the floodgates opened. Harvey Barnes, who has been in sensational form lately, fired in a beautiful third just before half-time. And as if that wasn’t enough, Fabian Schär nodded in a fourth in first-half stoppage time—yes, four goals before the break . The home fans were absolutely buzzing.
In the second half, Newcastle simply controlled the tempo, keeping possession and snuffing out any Palace momentum. Alexander Isak, who had already been threatening all night, finally got his reward with a sublime strike in the 58th minute to make it 5-0. Isak now sits on 20 goals this season—an outstanding tally for the Swedish striker.
From defence to attack, Newcastle were near-perfect. Tonali was a wall in midfield, Murphy continued to rack up assists (he's now on 11 for the season), and Barnes couldn’t stop scoring. This team just oozed confidence and composure.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, looked completely lost. Despite a few spells of possession and some late substitutions from Oliver Glasner, they simply couldn’t find a way past a rock-solid Newcastle backline. Even their bright spark, Eze, couldn’t make up for that poor penalty.
With this win, Newcastle soar up the table, now eyeing a solid top-three finish. Their home form has been phenomenal, and this result just adds another layer of belief around the club. It’s hard not to get excited if you’re a Magpies fan right now.
So, full credit to Eddie Howe and the lads—this was more than just a win. It was a message. Newcastle are here, they’re relentless, and on nights like these, they look absolutely unstoppable.
