Crystal Palace, with Israeli player Anan Khalaili on the field for the entire match, suffered a painful 2-0 home defeat against Newcastle United on Sunday. This marks their fifth league loss of the season. Khalaili played the full 90 minutes but was unable to prevent William Osula and Harvey Barnes from scoring the decisive goals for Newcastle.
Despite a lackluster first half from both teams, with no significant scoring opportunities, Newcastle dominated the second half. They opened the scoring two minutes after the break and doubled their lead eleven minutes later. A goal by Joe Willock was disallowed by VAR for offside. Both Newcastle goals originated from the left side of Palace's defense.
In the latter part of the second half, Palace increased their attacking efforts, primarily from the right flank, with Khalaili creating several dangerous crosses into the box that found no finishing touch. The match concluded with another loss for Khalaili and his teammates, who have secured only seven points out of a possible 24 this season. Crystal Palace currently sits in 17th place, just one point above the relegation zone, with only two Premier League wins so far. Newcastle, in contrast, is in seventh place.
