How Palace haven't managed to score in this one? it's all about putting your chances away though, Scott Dann has wasted another good chance for his side!

Swansea keeper Fabianski has made a couple of saves to keep the score at 0-0. Newcastle's Merino so lucky not to get a yellow card for trying to win a penalty. Hopefully the second half will be an improvement on the first.

A quick question for anyone who has seen footage of the Mane and Ederson incident yesterday, do you think it's a sending off and i'm currently watching the Swansea v Newcastle game, there's been a similar incident where Matt Ritchie's foot is high and he's close to catching Mawson. Should Matt Ritchie get a red card for dangerous play?

My thoughts are it's how the ref sees it. If a player only has eyes for the ball, but it can also be classed as dangerous play, then it often gives a ref no option really.

Swansea's zonal marking lets them down, powerful header from Lascelles to give Newcastle the lead. Tammy Abraham's chance early in the half now could prove to be costly.

A deserved victory for Newcastle, they created a few more chances than Swansea. If today's game is anything to go on then Swansea will struggle this season.

I get what you mean mate.

One gets a red card and the other doesn't even though it's for the same offence.

The scenario seems familiar.......

But unlike forums, referees cannot show favouritism.

It wasn't a great first half, but the second was a big improvement, it was good to see Jermaine Defoe get the winner.

Wolves next opponents Sheffield have just gone a goal up at Hillsborough, a John Fleck low free-kick , low into the bottom corner, one to watch out for on Wednesday evening!
