"Mateta scored both of Palace's goals in a 2-1 comeback win over Newcastle United at Selhurst Park, heading home from Tyrick Mitchell's cross and converting a penalty in stoppage time."
"Glasner expressed confidence in Mateta's return to form, stating, 'As soon as it was clear that he had to stay at Crystal Palace, he said: 'OK, I will work very, very hard to come back and help the team win.'"
"Mateta has converted each of his eight Premier League penalties, with only Raul Jimenez, Yaya Toure, and Dimitar Berbatov maintaining a better 100% success rate from the spot in the competition's history."
Jean-Philippe Mateta scored both goals in Crystal Palace's 2-1 victory over Newcastle United, marking his first Premier League goals since January. After a failed transfer to AC Milan, Mateta returned to form, having also scored in a previous match against Fiorentina. Manager Oliver Glasner expressed delight in Mateta's performance and noted his hard work to regain fitness. Mateta has a perfect record of converting penalties in the Premier League, with 31 goals scored at Selhurst Park, second only to Wilfried Zaha.
