MIGUEL ALMIRON’S brilliant winner leapfrogged Newcastle over a muted Crystal Palace side in the Prem mid-table.
Almiron rewarded the Toon’s dominance by curving a 32nd minute left-footer into the top corner following a pass from Bruno Guimaraes.
The Paraguayan attacking midfielder picked up a booking for his crazy celebrations as he whipped off his top and leapt around.
Palace’s mediocre night got worse when they lost Michael Olise to injury on 40 minutes.
Joelinto then wasted a fine opportunity to double the Toon’s lead.
And as the Eagles struggled for rhythm they threw on Jean-Philippe Mateta and James McArthur for Cheikhou Kouyate and Conor Gallagher midway through the second period.
But Newcastle deservedly held on for victory in some ease.
