Palace terroriser-in-chief Eberechi Eze shows he's worth Euros chance

Palace terroriser-in-chief Eberechi Eze shows he's worth Euros chance

Two second-half strikes by Jean-Philippe Mateta and another inspired performance by Eberechi Eze secured a third consecutive Premier League victory for Crystal Palace and dented Newcastle United's European ambitions. The win lifts Palace 14 points clear of the ­relegation zone and underlined the improvement wrought by Oliver Glasner since he replaced Roy Hodgson as manager in February. For Newcastle, this was a disappointing night and a chance missed in the race for sixth place.
