The full picture
Newcastle United won 2-0 against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, with goals from Will Osula and Harvey Barnes, in a much-needed victory after back-to-back defeats. The win was a significant turnaround, especially after a lackluster first half. The goals came from the right side, with Jacob Murphy providing a cross for Osula's goal and Amar Dedić cutting back for Barnes' goal. The team showed improvement after halftime, with a notable 15-minute spell.
Newcastle's first half was unimpressive, with no shot on target and poor passing control, but they changed their performance after halftime. The team produced a notable 15-minute spell, with Joe Willock being denied by an offside flag and Nico Williams playing a key role in the build-up to the second goal. The change in performance was attributed to the team's pressing and energy, which was lacking in the first half. The win was a huge turnaround, especially considering the team's previous performances.
The win highlighted some positives, including Amar Dedić's effectiveness as an attacking force and Nico Williams' improved performance after the change in the back four. Dan Burn and Fabian Schär's centre-back pairing was also credited with not making any mistakes. However, concerns were raised about the team's reliance on tried and tested players and the lack of opportunities for younger players. The win is expected to boost confidence ahead of the upcoming Everton game.

Source context
Newcastle United returned to winning ways at Selhurst Park with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday. After terrible back-to-back defeats (for very different reasons), it was a much-needed victory for the lads in black and white, both on the pitch and in the stands. The goals came via Will Osula, who ghosted in between defenders to poke the ball home from a Jacob Murphy cross, and Harvey Barnes, who finished off a sweeping move from an Amar Dedić cutback. Here’s two good and one bad from the game. Make no bones about it, the first half was just more of the same from the previous two games.
