Newcastle United have established themselves in the Premier League top flight. The Magpies are currently in third place and dream of the Champions League. Against midfield club Crystal Palace, it was just enough for a 0-0.
The fact that the two teams failed to score a goal against each other was already the case a few months ago. Because the first leg in September also ended without a goal. This has now led to a sad record.
Together, the two teams managed 64 shots on goal over the two games. And apparently none of them had found their way to the goal. Since data collection began in 2003/2004, there have never been so many goals in direct duels between two teams without a goal being scored.
Despite the unexpected loss of points, Newcastle’s 0-0 lead also has an upside. Sheikh Club are now unbeaten in 15 league matches. The Magpies have never managed such a long streak before.
