Crystal Palace’s winless streak has now reached four games after a 2‑0 defeat to Newcastle United at Selhurst Park. The loss leaves the Eagles just one point above the relegation zone, intensifying the pressure on manager Pierre‑Sage as the club struggles to find form in the Premier League.
The match, played behind a limited crowd due to restrictions, saw Newcastle take an early lead through a well‑placed header. Palace failed to respond, with their midfield unable to break down the Magpies’ compact defence. A second goal from Newcastle’s striker sealed the result, leaving Palace unable to secure a point in their home fixture.
Sage’s side has been unable to convert chances, and the defeat extends their run without a win to four matches. With the club hovering near the bottom of the table, the result has raised questions about the team’s tactics and squad depth. The manager’s position is under scrutiny as the club remains just outside the relegation zone, a narrow margin that could change with a single result.
Looking ahead, Palace will need to regroup quickly. Their next fixtures will test whether they can halt the slide and climb out of the danger zone. The club’s leadership is likely to review the squad’s performance and consider adjustments to the lineup or strategy to avoid further setbacks. The outcome of the upcoming matches will be crucial for determining whether Pierre‑Sage can steer the team away from the threat of relegation.
