Manchester City drop points again, this time away to Palace; Aston Villa victorious over Southampton
Sat Dec 07 2024 - 17:28table as Kevin Schade struck his fourth goal in two games to cap a scintillating 4-2 win against Newcastle at the Gtech Stadium.
It also pitched a Brentford side enjoying the strongest home form in the division against a team in Newcastle with just two wins on the road, and in atrocious conditions in west London the game swung first towards Frank’s team. Isak ought to have had a second but having walked the ball around Mark Flekken dithered over his finish allowing the goalkeeper to recover and scoop the ball away.
Brentford had won matches 4-3 and 5-3 here this season and were never likely to be cowed by a second Newcastle equaliser. Summer signing Maxence Lacroix fired Palace back in front with his first Eagles goal after the break but the sides were back on level terms from Lewis’ fine finish in the 68th minute.
An unmarked Ismaila Sarr would have wanted more from a chance he blazed over, but Palace did not relent with Eberechi Eze next to threaten as he danced around the 18-yard box, though the offside flag was eventually raised. The second half got out to a less frenetic start than the first but it took just six minutes for summer signing Lacroix to send the home support into raptures, rising higher than Kyle Walker to nod Palace back in front.
