Newcastle United climbed to third in the Premier League and took control of the race for UEFA Champions League qualification with a 5-0 win over Crystal Palace. In a game that was rescheduled due to their successful trip to the EFL Cup final last month, Newcastle were out of sight by half-time at a jubilant St James' Park.

On the surface, Crystal Palace's 5-0 defeat by Newcastle at St James' Park on Wednesday was as comprehensive as Premier League defeats get. However, the stats tell a slightly different story. The match momentum below shows the Eagles more than matched their opponents in terms of threat and were frequently the team more likely to score.
