Jonjo Shelvey 7, Isaac Hayden 6; Gary Cahill 8, Wilfried Zaha 6: Newcastle v Crystal Palace player ratings

London club come from behind to win 2-1 at St James' Park

• 

  NEWCASTLE UNITED RATINGS: Karl Darlow - 6, Had the ball taken off his gloves by Ciaran Clark for Palace’s first of the game and didn’t have much of a chance for Gary Cahill’s header. AP

• 

  Javier Manquillo - 6, Had an intriguing duel with Eberechi Eze and struggled to deal with the threat at times. Did put in a good tackle to prevent Zaha from getting a chance. AFP

• 

  Ciaran Clark - 5, Unlucky to see his block attempt go into the net. Could have been a lot more progressive with his passing. PA

• 

  Fabian Schar - 6, Completely lost Cahill for Palace’s second. Came close to making up for that with a couple of efforts that went marginally wide. AP

• 

  Jamal Lewis - 6, Showed good attacking intent and did well defensively but was a little bit overzealous at times. Reuters

• 

  Jeff Hendrick - 5, Came incredibly close with an instinctive effort and took up some good positions on the pitch but was unable to make the most of them. Reuters

• 

  Isaac Hayden - 6, Playing his 150th game for Newcastle, Hayden was strong defensively and moved the ball around fairly well. EPA

• 

  Jonjo Shelvey - 7, Scored from a wonderful strike just after a minute in. The wind played havoc with a few of his long balls and the midfielder was booked for a foul on Jordan Ayew. Reuters

• 

  Miguel Almiron - 7, Had a bright start with his ball to Wilson leading to the opener. Showed plenty of trickery and skimmed the bar with a free-kick. AFP

• 

  Callum Wilson - 7, Assisted Shelvey well for the opener. Chased down lost causes, ran the channels well and showed intelligence in his play. AFP

• 

  Ryan Fraser - 6, He probably should have had a goal, snatching at a decent chance and seeing another effort stopped by Guaita. Looked very threatening in the moments he came alive. AFP

• 

  SUBS: Allan Saint-Maximin (Hendrick 63’) - 6, Looked lively straight away but saw two efforts blocked by Scott Dann. Getty Images

• 

  Dwight Gayle (Manquillo 77’) - 5, Very quiet after coming off the bench. AFP

• 

  Andy Carroll (Clark 89’) – N/R, Will have hoped to make the difference but saw his header saved in the dying seconds. PA

• 

  CRYSTAL PALACE RATINGS: Vicente Guaita - 6, Had no chance of stopping Shelvey’s goal and came up with a good stop to deny Fraser. PA

• 

  Nathaniel Clyne - 5, Struggled to deal with the threat down his side. Almiron and Saint-Maximin both turned him inside out at one point – Clyne was also booked for a foul on Fraser. Getty Images

• 

  Gary Cahill - 8, Had a slow start and even fell over the ball once. Scored a great header for Palace’s second of the game and the 50th of his career and defended strongly after that. AP

• 

  Scott Dann - 8, Extremely resolute in his defending, getting his head onto plenty of crosses and brilliantly blocking two of Saint-Maximin’s efforts. Reuters

• 

  Patrick van Aanholt - 7, Played some very incisive passes, one of which ended up leading to Riedewald’s equaliser. His attacking threat faded as the second half went on but the Dutchman defended well. PA

• 

  Jairo Riedewald - 7, Scored from a powerful strike that deflected off Clark and kept the ball ticking over nicely. AFP

• 

  Luka Milivojevic - 6, Lumbered on the ball in the first half. Occasionally stretched by the Newcastle midfield but fought throughout. Booked for a poor challenge on Wilson. PA

• 

  Jordan Ayew - 6, Took a few hits from Newcastle men but carried on to help cause a threat at times. Booked for a foul on Schar. AFP

• 

  Wilfried Zaha - 6, Had the ball in the back of the net but it was ruled out for offside - was never able to really drive at the Newcastle defence before going off with a hamstring injury. AP

• 

  Eberechi Eze - 7, There were times where Eze’s play was so nonchalant yet brilliantly effective. He put in a great ball to assist Cahill’s header. AFP

• 

  Michy Batshuayi - 4, Was quiet for large periods, wasteful with some of his passing and caught offside at times where he really should have been more aware. AP

• 

  SUBS: Andros Townsend (Zaha 58’) - 4, Helped Clyne out defensively but put in a sure winner for Miss of the Season. Reuters

• 

  Christian Benteke (Batshuayi 73’) - 5, Provided a greater presence up front but didn’t get much service. AP

• 

  Cheikhou Kouyate (Riedewald 92’) – N/R, Came on to help Palace see out the game and stood strong. Getty Images

Newcastle United came back to earth with a bump as Crystal Palace recovered from conceding an early goal to claim a 2-1 victory in the Premier League at St James' Park on Tuesday.

Buoyed by their weekend win at high-flying Everton to snap a run of five successive league defeats, Newcastle made the perfect start when Jonjo Shelvey fired home after two minutes.

However, Jairo Riedewald's powerful deflected strike levelled it up after 21 minutes before Gary Cahill's thumping header put Palace ahead shortly after.

Newcastle toiled away in the driving rain looking for an equaliser in the second half but Palace defended diligently to make sure they headed back south with three points.

Defeat for Steve Bruce's side left them in 16th spot in the standings on 22 points from 22 games, eight ahead of third-from-bottom Fulham who have played two games fewer.

Palace, who had been overtaken in the standings by Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier on Tuesday, returned to a comfortable 13th place with 29 points.
