Summary of Premier League matches: Crystal Palace defeated Newcastle with two goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta, while 10-man Bournemouth emerged victorious against Wolves.

Jean-Philippe Mateta was the hero for Crystal Palace as they secured a 2-0 victory over Newcastle, extending their winning streak to three games in the Premier League. The French striker found the back of the net in the 55th and 88th minutes, sealing the win for Oliver Glasner’s side.

With this triumph, Palace now find themselves comfortably clear of the relegation zone and setting their sights on the top half of the table. On the other hand, Newcastle remain in seventh place.

The first half at Selhurst Park was a tightly contested affair, with Palace enjoying the better opportunities. Eberechi Eze had a shot that went wide, while Mateta missed a header from a cross.

However, it was Mateta who broke the deadlock in the 55th minute. He combined brilliantly with Jordan Ayew, playing a one-two before calmly finishing past Martin Dubravka.

Newcastle had penalty appeals waved away when Sean Longstaff went down in the box, adding to their frustrations. Mateta then put the game to bed in the 88th minute, securing his brace and ensuring victory for Palace.

In another Premier League clash, Bournemouth climbed up to 10th place with a 1-0 win over Wolves. Antoine Semenyo was the hero for the Cherries, scoring the only goal of the game in the 37th minute during a swift counter attack.

Bournemouth dominated the first half, registering 11 shots and coming close to extending their lead in the second half. Wolves thought they had equalized through Hwang Hee-chan, but the goal was disallowed by the video assistant referee due to a foul by Matheus Cunha.

The Cherries were then reduced to 10 men when Milos Kerkez was shown a red card for a sliding challenge on Matt Doherty. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Bournemouth held firm as Wolves piled on the pressure, ultimately securing all three points.

Overall, it was a successful day for both Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, as they continue to make strides in the Premier League.
