This is quite bizarre from Sky Sports.
As usual, they’ve rounded up the highlights from Newcastle United’s latest match.
You can watch the official Newcastle 2 Crystal Palace match highlights below.
Eddie Howe’s team with a very decent performance and absolute dedication, which ultimately got them their reward.
Goals in the 71st and 78th minutes defined the match, although there could and should have been more, while other chances were wasted, especially a very late chance for Joe Willock.
Also worth watching was another outrageous effort from Bruno Guimaraes from a corner, with only the woodwork denying him. Although he did get some reward when a brilliant corner resulted in the second goal for Malick Thiaw.
However, a bizarre ‘Sunderland’ ending (our thanks to GToon for the tip) added to these highlights, with Sky Sports hopefully having a sense of what will happen at St James’ Park in March…
Anyway, watch the highlights of NUFC v Palace here…
