Crystal Palace v Newcastle ratings: Benteke 7, Gallagher 8; Wilson 7, Hayden 5

Stunning Wilson strike earns Newcastle draw at Selhurst Park

• 

  CRYSTAL PALACE RATINGS: Vicente Guaita 6 - Didn’t have much to do but couldn’t have expected Callum Wilson to score from an unlikely area of the pitch. AP

• 

  Tyrick Mitchell 7 - Got forward well and displayed some good understanding with Edouard. Handled the threat of Saint-Maximin comfortably. Getty

• 

  Marc Guehi 6 - The defender’s pace helped deal with the threat of Saint-Maximin, and a precise challenge in the 38th minute helped divert a rare Newcastle attack. Penalised for holding during Benteke’s goal in the dying moments. Getty

• 

  Joachim Andersen 7 - Rarely involved with Palace dominating the ball for the majority of the game. Dealt with situations when he had to, but also picked up a booking for a high foot on Ryan Fraser. AFP

• 

  Joel Ward 6 - Transitioned the ball well into Palace’s more skilful players and helped Michael Olise get space with some smart overlapping runs. PA

• 

  James McArthur 6 - A strike late on looked destined for the goal but a good block from Hayden helped direct it for a corner. PA

• 

  Conor Gallagher 8 - Tricky in the middle of the park and showed plenty of promise when in possession. A bright display on the day. Getty

• 

  Luka Milivojevic 7 - Was close to going off in the opening minutes with an injury that had Patrick Vieira concerned, but the midfielder continued to battle well in the middle of the park. Getty

• 

  Edouard 6 - Moved along the Crystal Palace line and was rarely dispossessed. Edouard looked to link play in the danger areas that helped maintain pressure for Patrick Vieira’s side. PA

• 

  Michael Olise 7 - Difficult to deal with on the flank that saw the Magpies look to double up on him. Unlucky not to get an assist after putting in some good balls, with Benteke only able to find the post. Reuters

• 

  Christian Benteke 7 - A towering header got Palace in front but the striker has to do better with his chance where he had just the goalkeeper to beat. Thought he won the game before VAR intervened. Getty

• 

  SUBS: Wilfred Zaha (Olise 67') 7 - Confident on the ball as ever and did well in situations where he looked to have three defenders in front of him. Jeff Schlupp (Milivojevic 73') - Added energy to the Palace attack but the home side couldn’t re-take the lead. Jean Phillipe Mateta (Gallagher 86'). Getty

• 

  NEWCASTLE RATINGS: Karl Darlow 6 - Didn’t do anything that stood out but it would be harsh to blame him for the goals. Newcastle’s defenders were anonymous at times against Christian Benteke. Getty

• 

  Matt Ritchie 5 - Not as effective as normal going forward. The left-back defended well with support but didn’t go with the overlap in other moments. Reuters

• 

  Ciaran Clark 5 - Had no answer for Benteke who looked to win the ball in the air too often and with ease. Getty

• 

  Jamaal Lascelles 6 - A no-nonsense performance saw Lascelles clear the ball, and he had to be switched on throughout with Palace dictating the game. PA

• 

  Emil Krafth 7 - Picked up an assist but can’t take too much credit after the spectacular finish from Wilson. Newcastle’s best defender on the day. Getty

• 

  Javier Manquillo 5 - Did little to help get things moving in the right direction, with Newcastle’s attack not in sync at Selhurst Park. Getty

• 

  Sean Longstaff 5 - The Newcastle midfield was bland today, and Longstaff did little to help control the game against Patrick Vieira’s side. Reuters

• 

  Isaac Hayden 5 -Didn’t do enough in the middle of the park to help get Newcastle on the front foot, but a crucial block may have just saved the game from James McArthur's shot. PA

• 

  Ryan Fraser 5 - Anonymous. But also not helped by the fact that the Magpies barely had the ball. PA

• 

  Allan Saint-Maximin 6 - The French star was quieter than normal on the day with the Newcastle midfield rarely getting a hold of the ball to enforce any spell of possession. Getty

• 

  Callum Wilson 7 - An exquisite finish with Newcastle on the backfoot got his side back into the game. Getty

• 

  SUBS: Miguel Almiron (Longstaff 66') 5 - Gave away the ball far too often when introduced. The creative midfielder has to do much better. Reuters

• 

  Joelinton (Saint-Maximin) - On for Saint-Maximin but spent the rest of the game defending out the draw. Joe Willock (Fraser 66') 5 - Didn’t get many touches when coming on and it was easy to forget whether he was or not he was on the pitch. Reuters

Callum Wilson's acrobatic effort helped Newcastle United fight to a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Newcastle, under interim manager Graeme Jones following the departure of Steve Bruce, looked second best for much of the game but still managed to share the points.

Christian Benteke gave Palace the lead in the 56th minute before Wilson brought Newcastle level with an overhead kick. Belgian striker Benteke then had a late effort disallowed by VAR after a foul in the build-up as Newcastle held on for a draw.

"I was waiting for one opportunity in the game. Sometimes they come so high so it was an instinctive finish. I was glad it found the back of the net," Wilson told the BBC.

"After the week we had, it was important to get a positive result. It's a point on the board and something to build on. It's baby steps, we're going in the right way."
