Newcastle United produced a scintillating performance at St James' Park to thrash Crystal Palace 4-0 on Saturday and move up to fifth in the Premier League.

Eddie Howe's side started the day just one point and once place ahead of Palace but were in control from the moment Jacob Murphy's fourth-minute goal was allowed to stand by VAR, with Anthony Gordon and Sean Longstaff making it 3-0 before the break.

Striker Callum Wilson added a fourth in the second half when Newcastle were able to make multiple changes with one eye on their midweek home Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.

Midfielder Sandro Tonali, who is subject to an investigation into allegations of betting breaches, was among those brought on and the Italy international was given a rousing reception from home fans.
