The Colombian full-back, who missed a glorious chance earlier to give the hosts a first-half lead, beat Nick Pope with a towering far-post header with just over 90 seconds of stoppage time left to play.

In spite of their injury woes, Newcastle have been the better side so far. As things stand Opta's live win predictor suggests that the Magpies have a 42% chance of victory; Crystal Palace's chance of picking up three points is rated at 29%.

Newcastle may currently sit behind Nottingham Forest, Brentford, Manchester United and Fulham but will finish above all of them, according to prediction. On the other hand, Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton are predicted to suffer an immediate relegation back to the Championship.
