Tim nagle: So should I go out and put a tenner on @NUFC to win the league next season? #GreatEscape?

Not entirely sure Mr Martin Keown that Hennessey had much of a chance with that.

Judge the goal for yourselves on Match of the Day later on BBC One.

"Townsend has been the inspiration for Newcastle for the last three or four weeks and once again he has come up with the goods. It is a great strike, he goes for the far corner and wrong foots Wayne Hennessey, who is nowhere near it."

"It is a stunning strike. Hennessey will be disappointed but take nothing away from Townsend."

Scott Dann brings down Andros Townsend - the Magpies have a free-kick to the right and 20 yards from goal.

Andros 'takes a while to get going' Townsend cuts outside from a central position and fires a shot straight at Wayne Hennessey.

Newcastle keep winning the ball but then give it way at the edge of the area.

The cross is easily gathered by Wayne Hennessey. The home crowd once again revert to subdued.

Another Newcastle corner.

Gini Wijnaldum glides into the area and fires a goalbound shot that comes off Damien Delaney.

Newcastle are bubbling.

Corner ball.

There was a big cheer at St James' when that Stoke goal went in - will it inspire the home team?

We are back under way. Avoid the sick on the pitch.

Although Newcastle do have wide men, their average positions suggest they are playing far more compact than Palace.

"Alan Pardew has come here with a game plan, he has five across the middle and has tried to control the game and slow it down. Palace are trying to isolate Vurnon Anita on the left with Yannick Bolasie, but Bolasie has not managed to pick the right cross. Newcastle have come into the game in the last 15 minutes, but Palace look more competent. 

"Newcastle still look edgy and you can feel it in their fans."

That was about four minutes of stoppage time played by ref Mike Dean - obviously he was making notes of Palace's... slower play.

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez makes notes on the bench...

"Probably have to put Mitrovic on..."
