Newcastle struggled to create chances but move up to third in the Premier League after a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace
It’s been so long since Newcastle last conceded a goal in the Premier League that even Eddie Howe could be forgiven for not remembering who scored it.
“We controlled the game but just couldn’t score a goal,” he said. “We aren’t scoring the numbers that we want to but there’s no complaints about the way we are playing.” Howe also admitted that Newcastle will be in the market for a new striker after Chris Wood was allowed to join Nottingham Forest on loan this week.Download the Guardian app from the iOS App Store on iPhone or the Google Play store on Android by searching for 'The Guardian'.
It was Newcastle who started with more intent when Miguel Almirón just failed to guide a cross from Joe Willock on target. A clever move down the right flank involving Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn that ended with a comfortable save for Vicente Guaita – who signed a 12-month contract extension this week – was another warning for Palace that it could be a long evening.
However, creating real chances against a defence as miserly as Newcastle’s is no easy task. Sven Botman has now yet to finish on the losing side in 18 appearances and the Dutchman rarely had to break into a sweat as Palace were restricted to just a single touch in the Newcastle penalty area in the opening 25 minutes.The Palace captain Marc Guéhi was perhaps lucky not to be shown a second yellow card for bringing down Callum Wilson, having been harshly cautioned early on by referee Craig Pawson for a mistimed challenge, but the resulting free-kick was wasted.
