Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe conveyed his frustration after his team’s loss against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Howe admitted to being perplexed by his side’s performance during Wednesday night’s encounter. Jean-Philippe Mateta’s brace for Palace marked the end of Newcastle’s four-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League.

Reflecting on his side’s return to action after a 10-day break, Howe said afterwards: “Very disappointed with the performance. From the high of Tottenham to the low of tonight, we were disappointing in most aspects of our play and we have to take responsibility for that.”
