Marc Guéhi Scores Own Goal as Newcastle Triumphs 3-0 Over Crystal Palace

Newcastle United secured a commanding 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace, a match that notably featured Marc Guehi scoring his second own goal against Newcastle this season, a rare feat last matched by Jamie Carragher in 1998-99. Newcastle's win propelled them to third place in the Premier League, four points behind Arsenal and with Champions League qualification appearing increasingly likely. The team's strong form has continued despite manager Eddie Howe's absence due to illness, with captain Bruno Guimarães and assistant Jason Tindall ensuring high standards are maintained. Crystal Palace, despite recent successes and an FA Cup semi-final berth, struggled to contain Newcastle's relentless attack. Social media reactions from Newcastle fans highlighted the irony of Guehi's own goals, especially considering Newcastle's failed attempt to sign him last summer. Both teams emphasized the importance of learning from the match, with Palace vowing to take responsibility and improve going forward.
