The English Premier League has a new team #3! Liverpool and Arsenal have been a leading duo for a long time, while Nottingham Forest have held the third position for months. Until last night! Newcastle demolished Crystal Palace 5-0, taking over the spot behind the Reds and Gunners six rounds before the end of the season.A 5-0 hammering of Crystal Palace takes Newcastle into third place! 🪜 pic.twitter.com/mEx71kN6vc— Premier League (@premierleague) April 16, 2025 The Eagles held out almost throughout the entire first half, but after the Magpies’ blitzkrieg a little before the break, there was no going back. In my free time, I humiliate Liverpool and push cars for strangersNewcastle broke the deadlock in the 14th minute over Jacob Murphy, but Palace got a chance to return from the spot in the 36th minute. Yet, Nick Pope stopped Eberechi Eze’s effort, and that’s when everything started going south for Oliver Glasner’s crew.🚨🏴 GOAL | Newcastle 1-0 Crystal Palace | Jacob MurphyWHAT A FINISH FROM JACOB MURPHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!pic.twitter.com/X0U8guMYQC— Tekkers Foot (@tekkersfoot) April 16, 2025 ⚽️ This is the worst penalty in premier league history taken by Eberechi Eze tonight. 🎥 @BradyRico pic.twitter.com/06k0hTcK6J— CaughtOffside (@caughtoffside) April 16, 2025 In ten final minutes of the first half – between the 38th and eighth minute of added time – Newcastle scored three goals (?!) over Marc Guehi (own goal), Harvey Barnes, and Fabian Schar, completely destroying the visitors’ hopes.2 – Marc Guéhi has scored an own goal in both games against Newcastle in the Premier League this season, just the second time a player has netted one home and away against an opponent in a single campaign (after Jamie Carragher v Tottenham in 1998-99).

Apart from Newcastle and the Villans, Nottingham Forest, Man City, and Chelsea are also in the mix for three spots that lead to the elite European competition next season.##NAJAVA_MECA_8859697##PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 29WednesdayNewcastle – Crystal Palace 5-0 (4-0)/Murphy 14, Guehi 38 og, Barnes 45+3, Schar 45+8, Isak 58/
