Munoz salvages last-gasp draw for Palace
Daniel Munoz salvaged a dramatic 1-1 draw for Crystal Palace against Newcastle United in the Premier League, but the Eagles remain winless in the competition.
Munoz had missed two glorious chances earlier in the match but made no mistake in the 94th minute as he nodded past Nick Pope at the far post.
It looked like Newcastle, which was humbled at home by West Ham United last week, would return to winning ways after Marc Guehi bundled Anthony Gordon's low cross into his own net 53 minutes in.
But Guehi played his part in an equaliser Palace deserved on the balance of play, as his floated cross was turned home by Munoz to spark jubilant celebrations at Selhurst Park.
Palace moved out of the relegation zone on goal difference, while Newcastle stays in 10th, as it missed the chance to move within a point of the top four.
Palace would have felt extremely hard done by if it had walked away from this game empty-handed, but Oliver Glasner may feel that even a point is not enough for his side after such a dominant display.
The Eagles had 16 shots, four of which were on target, as they created 1.29 expected goals (xG) and had five big attempts.
That is compared to just one attempt from Newcastle, worth 0.02 xG, from Joelinton in the 43rd minute, as it failed to register a single shot on target.
"We feel we deserve a bit more [this season]. It’s not that we miss [chances] because we’re arrogant. It's about how you deal with it. What gives me a lot of confidence is the character of the players here at Crystal Palace," Glasner said.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, meanwhile, said: "It's really gutting to concede the goal at the end.
"I felt like we'd weathered the storm and would see the game out. We defended crosses well, but one moment cost us today. In [our last] two games, we’ve let a lot of points slip."
