FINAL: NEWCASTLE 1 - 0 PALACE
My "Man of the Match":
Yannick Bolasie. Had some great runs on the pitch, and nearly opened the scoring with a screamer that crashed against the bar. Jules made some great saves too, save for the 94th minute, which he really couldn't do much about.
What can you say? A point in our grasp, and it goes in the last minute. Unbelievably crushed. Luckily, we're still in 17th after the bottom three all lost big. Chelsea comes to Selhurst on Saturday.
