Please read ourThe Go North East buses were back after another week of industrial action but we just missed the 25. A cursory glance at the app suggested it was 13 minutes until the next one, the Green Angel.
The storm clouds had been gathering all week with news that our Italian midfielder is likely to see a lengthy ban imposed for illegal betting, but Babet had thankfully subsided and some weak autumnal sunshine greeted us as we headed up to the ground. We started brightly and with just four minutes on the clock, Schar played a delightful ball out wide to Trippier. His deft pass found Murphy whose intelligent lob left Sam Johnstone flat footed to put us in front, or so we thought, as Trippier was flagged for offside. The intervention from VAR thankfully went in our favour, leaving Murphy to charge in the direction of the corner flag, leading the celebrations.
If that goal, coming so close the interval, seemed crucial, less than two minutes later, the game as a contest was over. Schar played the ball over the top and Wilson, who’d battled so tirelessly against the Palace defenders all game, unsettled Marc Guéhi such that he couldn’t clear his lines and Sean Longstaff pounced, his shot leaving a forlorn looking Johnstone to pick the ball out the net for a third time.
At the other end, Palace rarely threatened, but the defence was resolute in keeping another clean sheet and Pope made two great saves, the first where he had to dive low to deny Cheick Doucoure, the second even better, when he tipped an otherwise goal bound Odsonne Edouard freekick over the bar.
