Close range efforts from Bruno Guimaraes and Malick
Thiaw saw Newcastle record back-to-back league victories for only
the second time this season on Sunday, giving Eddie Howe's side a
winning start to 2026.
Anthony Gordon and Joelinton had the ball in the Eagles net before
half-time only to be both denied by offside calls, but there was
nothing wrong with the 71st minute opener from United's captain,
rising to head home after Lewis Miley diverted a Harvey Barnes
centre back across goal.
That goal came just moments after Bruno's corner shaved the
Gallowgate End crossbar and another flag kick from United's captain
ended with Thiaw prodding home the second goal for his side on 78
minutes.
Bruno again almost inspired a third United goal during second half
added time, setting Barnes through on goal for Dean Henderson to
block the shot and Joe Willock flash a shot wide of the target when
it looked easier to score.
United took to the field with one change from the starting line-up
at Turf Moor on Tuesday; Jacob Murphy replacing Barnes on the right
flank with Anthony Elanga absent due to injury for a third game.
A trio of defenders - Kieran Trippier, Tino Livramento and Sven
Botman - all returned to the bench while Lewis Miley continued at
right back for a fifth league and cup game.
Yoane Wissa led the line and came close to another early Magpies
goal, a headband-less Gordon teeing him up for what was a
disappointing effort straight at Henderson.
Without mounting an onslaught on the Palace goal, United created a
handful of efforts bookending Gordon's disallowed 20th minute effort
and Joelinton's close to the break: Fabian Schar's header and a
powerful Lewis Hall strike both requiring intervention from
Henderson.
There was still time for Oliver Glasner's below strength side to
threaten; Will Hughes exchanging passes with Yeremy Pino and
speeding into the box, only to stretch and poke his shot just wide
of Nick Pope's goal as Schar reached him.
With little uplift from the Magpies after the break, a trio of
replacements arrived just after the hour and had a positive effect
in building momentum on the Palace goal.
For the umpteenth time this season though, Newcastle's number 39
stepped up to give us exactly what we need - a goal and an assist to
calm those inside Gallowgate and make a positive start to their
quick-fire quartet of home tests.
Team:
Pope, L.Miley, Hall (Livramento 63) Thiaw, Schar, Tonali
(Ramsey 63), Joelinton, Guimaraes, Gordon (Barnes 63), J.Murphy (Willock
88), Wissa (Woltemade 78).
Subs n/u: Botman, A.Murphy, Ramsdale, Tripper.
Goals: Guimaraes 71, Thiaw 78.
Booked: Gordon.
CPFC: Henderson, Lerma (Canvot 38), Guehi, Lacroix,

Benamar, Benitez, Sosa.
Palace were able to use six substitutes following Jefferson Lerma's
concussion-dictated first half replacement.
Booked: Johnson, Mitchell, Guehi.
Crowd: 51,979 including old boy Mick Quinn.
Referee: John Brooks -
first NUFC appointment for the Leicestershire official since
he took charge of last May's 2-0 win over Chelsea
at Gallowgate.
VAR: Matthew Donohue
Eddie Howe said:
"It was a tough game, it always is against Palace. Oliver has done
an amazing job. We had to be patient. It was bitty at times. I think
the substitutions made a difference and helped us over the lines.
"I think they were two good moves for the goals that weren't. We
needed that first goal to relax us. I think we got better and better
in the game."
On Bruno Guimaraes:
"Bruno is a very special
player, person and character.
"He's very positive, has great
energy and played a captain's role because that game was always
going to be decided by a very key moment - and he has come up with
the big one for us. He's done it countless times.
"Your big players normally
decide big games and today was a big game for us decided by a huge
player in our recent history."
On Lewis Miley:
"He's been incredible since he came into the team.
"You wouldn't know it (isn't in his natural position). He's
excelled in this position (at right back).
He's doing a great job in the team."
On securing successive PL wins:
"It's a better position but we've got more work to do - we've got a
massive month ahead.
"We need to build some momentum and confidence and today is a big
step forward."
Stats:
Eddie Howe's side are now unbeaten in their last 11 home league and cup fixtures,
keeping a first clean sheet in 13 Premier League games and only
their sixth of the season.
A seventh PL goal of the season for Bruno Guimaraes
saw him match his highest Toon total, in the 2023/24 season.
The Brazilian now has 28 PL goals, level with Obafemi Martins
and one behind both Gary Speed and Demba Ba.
Malick Thiaw netted his third goal for the club, all of which
have come in the PL.
Fabian Schar made a 250th appearance in all competitions
(227 starts) as a Magpie while Anthony Gordon
played his 100th PL game for United (79 starts).

Familiar faces
After suffering eleven straight league and cup defeats, ex-Magpie Alun
Armstrong stood down as manager of National League
Gateshead on Friday, but continues in a football development role at the club.
His replacement is fellow SJP old boy Rob Elliot,
who left the International Stadium in October 2024 to become
Crawley Town boss, but lasted barely six months in that post.
Another former Newcastle goalkeeper found himself a new club on Friday, Bournemouth
signing free agent Fraser Forster for the remainder of the
season.
37 year-old Forster has been without a club since leaving Spurs last
summer and hasn't played competitively since December 2024.
Forster was on the bench for Saturday's Premier League fixture
against Arsenal and should be involved this coming Saturday when the Cherries visit SJP in the FA Cup.

totally skint....

Ahead of their trip to Tyneside, Andoni Iraola's side host
Spurs on Wednesday, looking to end their eleven game winless
run in the Premier League.
The Cherries reached the Quarter-finals of the FA Cup last

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered
to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

On This Day in History |
|
5th January |
|
Born Or Died:
1925 Tom O'Neil
born, Spennymoor.
(1942-48)
Right back who failed to make a single competitive senior appearance during his time at SJP, but later went
on to play for Newport County.
Tom died in 1978.
 1923
George King born, Amble.
(1946-48)
Centre forward who appeared twice in the Newcastle first team during September
1946 season, in a 1-1 draw at Spurs and then a similar stalemate at Coventry
City.
Departing from SJP in March 1948, George joined Hull City in a £750 transfer
and later went on to appear for Port Vale and Barrow.
Finding his scoring touch at the latter, King signed for Bradford City at a
cost of £3,000 in January 1952 but had moved on to Gillingham within a year.
After a spell with Kings Lynn, George's final club was Ely City,
serving the Robins as a player before becoming their first team manager in
1955.
Remaining in Cambridgeshire and working as a chiropodist, his death was
recorded in February 2002.
George's younger brother Ray was on the playing staff at Gallowgate between 1942 and 1946.
1940
William Thompson
born, Bedlington.
(1957-67)
Centre-half
who debuted in a 2-4 loss at Chelsea in November 1960 and was a
regular starter over the following two full seasons.
Denied an England U23 call-up by injury, Bill was sidelined for much of the
1963/64 season and missed all of the promotion campaign that followed it.
Finally returning to the first team in October 1965, His only goal as a Magpie
came during a 3-2 loss at Sheffield United in his
second comeback game the following month - when he was fielded at centre
forward.
Thompson's final first team outing came in February 1967 - a 0-3 defeat at
Everton - and he moved to Rotherham United
that summer, subsequently playing for Darlington and South Shields.
Later living in Stakeford and working for Wilkinson Sword, Bill's death was
recorded during September 2011.
1964 Chris
Hedworth born, Wallsend.
(1982-86)
Central
defender recruited from Wallsend Boys Club, who made
his senior debut in a 1-3 defeat at Leeds in October 1982.
Hedworth's place in Newcastle history is due to his appearance in goal
- one of the three 'keepers United used during the infamous 1-8 loss at West Ham in April 1986.
Chris replaced 'keeper Martin Thomas after he was unable to continue after half
time with the score at 0-3 and was quickly struggling with a collarbone injury.
At 0-4, Hedworth returned to an outfield role and Peter Beardsley donned the
gloves - Hammer Alvin Martin completing a possibly unique hat trick, with one
goal per keeper.
That proved to be Hedworth's last first team outing and he joined Barnsley on a
free transfer ahead of the 1986/87 season, later moving on to Halifax Town and Blackpool,
finally hanging up his boots in 1992.
Graduating with a BSc in Social Science, Chris lived and worked on Tyneside in
the public sector, moving to New Zealand on two separate occasions to work.
He was subsequently employed by a specialist brain and spinal injury case
management company in the North East.
1965
Ian Dawes born, Aldershot.
(1983-85)
 England
schoolboy defender who joined Newcastle as a schoolboy but failed to break into the first team at
SJP.
Signing for Northampton Town ahead of the 1985/86 season following his release,
Ian's Cobblers contract was cancelled in January 1986, after just five league
outings.
Returning to the North East, he played for Gateshead, North Shields
and Ponteland United.
Ian joined the police force and lived in Chester-le-Street.
(NB: there was another, different, Ian Dawes who
appeared in defence for both QPR and Millwall and later confusingly coached
Northampton Town). 1989 Lewis Marr
born, Bishop Auckland.
(2005-07)
Academy defender who was released by United in 2007, having been sidelined for a year with a serious cartilage
injury.
The former England U16 international was then offered a chance by
Motherwell, who had spotted him playing in the FA exit trials.
However, that was curtailed due to fitness problems and Lewis was next
spotted on trial at Scunthorpe United in pre-season.
That didn't work out, but a second chance to go to Motherwell saw him
win a deal at Fir Park - although he failed to break through from their
junior or reserve sides.
November 2007 then saw Marr reportedly sign for Unibond
League side Bamber Bridge and he later worked as a youth coach at Hartlepool
United and Boro.
2001 Oisin McEntee born, Shercock, Ireland.
(2017-22)
 Irish
youth international central defender who played both soccer and Gaelic football
until the age of 14.
Spotted by a Manchester United scout, Oisin travelled over to England to train with the
Red Devils but failed to win a contract.
Similar stints at Stoke City, Leicester City, Aston Villa and Brighton also
drew a blank, but Newcastle liked what they saw and signed him from Malahide
United.
McEntee made a scoring competitive U18 debut in a Premier League Cup tie
against Brighton during September 2017.
May 2018 then saw Oisin take centre stage as Ireland U17s were beaten in the
European Championship Quarter Finals.
With a penalty shootout against Netherlands locked at 4-4, the Ireland
goalkeeper was shown a second yellow card after moving too early
and saving a kick.
His dismissal saw McEntee don the gloves, but he was unable to stop the retaken penalty - which
won the tie.
Joining United U23s in pre-season, he repeated his habit of debuting
with a goal against West Bromwich Albion U23s in
January 2019.
Helping Ireland to the last four of the U19 European Championship Finals in
Armenia that summer, McEntee captained his country at that level later the same
year.
Although making his debut in the EFL Trophy against League
Two Macclesfield Town, fitness concerns and the curtailed
U23 season restricted Oisin's appearances.
He regained fitness and was an U23 regular, joining the first team for training before
a loan switch to Greenock Morton for 2021/22 - also
appearing for Ireland U21s.
Released in Summer 2022, McEntee signed for League Two side Walsall and was given a contract extension in November 2023 to the end of the 2024/25 season.
He signed for Scottish Premiership side Hearts in June
2025 and has appeared 19 times for the current league
leaders.

Rutherford(15,67)

"Novocastrian nimbleness too much for Blues" was the
Sports Argus headline.
Following their 0-1 loss at Middlesbrough on New
Years Day, the visitors had stayed at Redcar - kick-off
at SJP brought forward to 2pm in order to allow them to
catch the 4.55pm train from Newcastle to Birmingham.
1924 Nottingham Forest
(h)
4-0 (2-0)
Division One
P26, 31pts, 5th/22
Cowan(3,56), Harris(23,52)

Having put four goals past Aston Villa at Gallowgate
on New Years Day, United inflicted a similar punishment
on Forest.
The Magpies ended the day fifth in the table, five
points behind the league leaders Cardiff City.
1929 Sheffield United
(h)
4-2 (3-2)
Division One
P26, 24pts, 13th/22

Division Two
P25, 29pts, 7th/22
Hopkins(1), Fletcher(65,80)
28,000
Newcastle's first-ever visit to Griffin Park began badly and scarcely
improved thereafter - although the visitors had several decent scoring chances.
The Bees would go through the full season unbeaten at home, winning 19 and
drawing the other two en route to collecting the title.
 1946
Barnsley (h)
4-2 (2-2)
FA Cup 3rd Round 1st Leg
Milburn(4,60),
Hair(31), Stubbins(54)
og(Harvey)(6), Pallister(43pen)
60,284
In what is recognised as our first bona-fide competitive post-war
match, there were full debuts for Bobby Corbett, Bobby Cowell, Charlie
Crowe, Joe Harvey, Ray King, Tot Smith, Charlie Wayman, George Hair and
Jackie Milburn.
Completing the side, Henry Clifton and Albert Stubbins represented the
pre-war era, as for one season only the FA Cup was played on a
two-legged basis - in order to provide both competing sides with gate
revenues.
The Tykes needed to win by three clear goals at Oakwell the following
Wednesday in order to advance - and did exactly that.
 1952
Preston North End (h) 3-0 (2-0)
Division One
P26, 32pts, 4th/22
Milburn(15), G.Robledo(31),
Foulkes(86)
42,410
Following home draws against Manchester United and the mackems,
Newcastle got back to winning ways.
Frank Brennan was penalised for
handball but Ronnie Simpson then saved Ken Horton's spot-kick when it was 1-0.
A white ball was introduced at the start of the second half due to the atrocious
ground conditions.
 1957
Manchester City (h)
1-1 (0-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round
White(48)
Johnstone(75)
57,921
Having lost 0-3 at SJP earlier in the season, this draw with City was
followed by a fine 5-4 replay victory at Maine Road. And having got the taste
for winning there, Newcastle returned to collect the points in a 2-1 league
success.
 1963
United's FA Cup Third Round tie against Bradford City
was postponed due to a frozen pitch
at Valley Parade.
The game eventually took place 61 days later, after the cold snap that brought the
whole country to a standstill finally relented.
1972
Malcolm Macdonald scored for England U23s, as they defeated Wales 2-0 at
Swindon Town's County Ground.
 1974
Hendon (h)
1-1 (1-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round
Howard(40)
Haider(68)
33,840
Rod Haider deservedly levelled for the non-league
side to set up a replay that was staged on a weekday
afternoon at Watford's Vicarage Road, rather than Hendon's
compact Claremont Road ground.
 1980
Chester City (h)
0-2 (0-1)
FA Cup 3rd Round
Henderson(4), Rush(75)
24,548
Third Division City overcame second tier United, with
an 18 year-old Ian Rush marking his first appearance at
SJP by netting in a deserved cup victory.
1990
Swindon Town Chairman Brian Hillier and Manager Lou Macari
were charged by the FA over allegations of match
betting.
The match was Swindon's 5-0 FA Cup defeat at
St. James' Park in January 1988.
 1991
Derby County (h)
2-0 (0-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round
Quinn(61),
Stimson(63)
19,748
A rare piece of giant-killing for Jim Smith's Magpies, as the
Division One Rams were dumped out at SJP.
John Anderson showed inspirational form and set up an opening goal for
Mick Quinn, who spectacularly lobbed Peter Shilton.
Mark Stimson then converted a free kick soon after, to partially atone
for his own goal nightmare at Oldham in our previous game.
Steve Watson made only his second senior start and became the
youngest-ever United player to feature in an FA Cup match, at 16 years
and 279 days.
The only low point of the day was the racial abuse that
Rams striker Kevin Francis endured from some home fans in the
East Stand.

 1997
Charlton Athletic (a)
1-1 (1-0)
FA Cup 3rd Round
Lee(33)
Kinsella(78)
14,980
This televised tie proved to be the final game of
Kevin Keegan's first spell as boss.
Charlton turnstile operator Robert Lee netted on his first
return to the Valley since September 1985, having scored
the Addicks last goal before they abandoned the ground.
Mark Kinsella ensured a replay but strange
things were afoot at the post-match press conference and
by the time Charlton came to SJP for the
replay, Kenny Dalglish was in charge of the home side.

Alan Shearer made it six goals in six games as he thumped in a
20 yard free-kick touched off to him by Nobby Solano.
Clarence Acuna then became the first Chilean to score in this
competition for Newcastle since George Robledo at Wembley
in 1952.

27,316
Back to back home victories over Spurs and Liverpool
left United fourth in the Premiership, but their good form
didn't extend to an FA Cup tie against second tier
opposition.
Dave Jones marked a century of games in charge of Wolves
by seeing his side outfight and outwit the visitors and
build up a two goal lead - only to then surrender that
just before half time.
The black and whites failed to extend that revival after
the break though and were unable to reply once behind
again.
Both halves of NUFC.com were equally aghast as Sir Bobby
Robson's "arrogant and overpaid rabble took
complacency to new found heights."

42,387
Handed a
first PL start after Shola Ameobi failed a fitness test,
Leon Best hit a remarkable hat-trick as United completed a double over
the hapless Hammers.
Best followed Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan in completing a seasonal
treble at SJP - the first time three Magpies had hit hat tricks in a top
flight campaign since 1933/34.

United exited from the FA Cup at the
Amex Stadium for a second season running, following a woeful display
that looked to be a deliberate ploy to avoid Round Four.
A weakened line-up was depleted further by Shola Ameobi's ridiculous dismissal
but
United were better with ten men, Sylvain Marveaux and Nile
Ranger missing chances before the Championship hosts struck again late on.

The big cup shock was that United's
FA Cup campaign was still alive, but it was difficult to know how after
an awful display against Championship opposition.
Once Rovers had gone ahead, the hosts looked odds-on to go out until substitute Ayoze Perez was tripped in the box and Matt Ritchie converted from the
spot.
