Crystal Palace snatched a dramatic late equaliser against Newcastle on Saturday afternoon through Daniel Munoz.
The Eagles were by far the better team at Selhurst Park on Saturday and in the end, got rewarded for positive play with the late Daniel Munoz equaliser.
Munoz was unstoppable for Crystal Palace in the draw, despite missing a chance which David Seaman told Premier League productions even he would have scored.
The draw was enough to help Crystal Palace move out of the relegation zone and to 17th in the table. This is just behind the newly appointed Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.

17 Crystal Palace 9
18 Wolves 9
19 Ipswich 9
The goal was the Eagles’ 11th of the season and potentially the most instrumental as it could unleash the true potential of Crystal Palace this season.
Oliver Glasner’s reaction told that very story.
What Oliver Glasner did to celebrate Daniel Munoz goal vs Newcastle
No man in SE25 would have been happier to see Munoz’s header go in than Glasner, with his 2024/25 season not going to plan so far.
It was a huge goal, and Glasner knew it.

The moment the Colombian scored and headed to the corner to celebrate, the team were joined by Glasner who ran all the way from the technical box to join in the celebrations with his team.
Glasner looked absolutely thrilled as he embraced Munoz while clearly shouting in delight.

The turning point for Crystal Palace?
This goal feels like a watershed moment in Crystal Palace’s season, despite it only earning a point.
The Eagles completely outplayed Newcastle in the game and deserved to win. This proves Glasner is correct to be so calm about his side and their form.
While we may be biased, a team which is this together and eager to succeed simply cannot go down and makes us increasingly confident that the Eagles will avoid relegation.
Next up for the Eagles is Ipswich Town on Tuesday which is a huge chance to move up as high as 15th depending on results tomorrow.
Could this be the moment Glasner has been waiting for?
