The match looked to be headed for an underwhelming 0-0 draw before Miguel Almirón's 83rd-minute goal, which proved to be the winner and allowed the Magpies to leapfrog the Eagles in the table.

The volley was greeted by an almighty roar from the stands, not only because it handed the hosts the lead at a crucial time in the game, but also because it ended the wait for the fan favourite to score his first goal in Newcastle colours.

The Paraguayan was the difference again the last time the sides met, when his stunning strike handed Eddie Howe's men a third consecutive win in April. That represented the sixth successive match at St. James' Park between Newcastle and Palace to be decided by a single goal and five out of the last six at home have now finished 1-0 to either side.

Another 1-0 win in favour of Newcastle is available at 13/2 in the correct score betting for those who fancy the trends of recent years to continue, while any Newcastle victory by a one-goal margin has been chalked up at 11/4.

Goals however haven't been scarce so far this season as Almirón found his scoring boots again during the last home outing, a 3-3 draw with defending champions Manchester City which started a run of 'both teams to score' bets landing.

Anyone backing both teams to score in Crystal Palace's league matches this season have also been successful four times out of five, so the BoyleSports price boost this week of Newcastle to win and both teams to score (was 11/4, now 7/2) will be attractive for Toon Army supporters who fancy goals.
