I should have known better than to underestimate Palace, especially at Selhurst Park. That place is a fortress; the atmosphere is electric, the fans are crazy passionate - it really affects the game. The early exchanges were pretty even, with both sides probing for openings. Newcastle had more of the ball, that's for sure, but Palace's defense was surprisingly solid, and they were dangerous on the counter.
