‘Faultless display’ - Newcastle United player ratings as January signing stars against Crystal Palace

Newcastle United player ratings from the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at St James’ Park.

Newcastle United hit the 40 points total and all-but sealed Premier League safety with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Miguel Almiron’s only goal of the game midway through the first-half moved the Magpies into 11th, level on points with 10th place Brighton.

It was sixth home win a row for Eddie Howe’s side, the first time that’s been done since the Sir Bobby Robson days.

Howe named an unchanged starting XI to the side that beat Leicester City 2-1 through Bruno Guimaraes’ injury-time winner.

The Brazilian scored a brace against the Foxes and versus Palace, he contributed yet again, this time assisting United’s opener.

His ball over the top was latched onto by Almiron, who evaded the challenge of Tyrick Mitchell before producing a stunning finish into the top left corner on 33 minutes.
