Crystal Palace 2-1 Newcastle: What Mateta and Mitchell said

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has been speaking to Sky Sports after the win: "We wanted that win. We are very happy to have won, especially at home as well. It means a lot that we have beaten a great team.

"We still have European football as well so this gives us a lot of energy. We have a big squad [to cope with it]. I hope we win our the next game as well."

On team-mate Tyrick Mitchell making his 200th Premier League appearance: "I'm always happy when he finds me in the box. He is my guy, I've been with him for a few years now. He is a fantastic team-mate and a machine."

Crystal Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell also spoke to Sky Sports: "It was a nice feeling. I was a bit tired towards the end, but it was nice to see the fans celebrating my 200th game. It's hard but you want to play. I'm more happy being tired than not playing."
