FULL TIME - NEWCASTLE 3-3 CRYSTAL PALACE. The whistle blows and we have an early contender for game of the season here at St James' Park! a topsy turvy game finally ends as both side share the spoils. Dwight Gayle's goal after 30 seconds was cancelled out by Daryl Janmaat's toe poke on 37 minutes but after the break Jason Puncheon was given too much space to shoot and put the Eagles ahead. Enter Rolando Aarons, the 18-year-old scored his first goal on his debut and then set up Mike Williamson on 88 minutes after his curling shot hit the woodwork. Just as Alan Pardew's men thought they had all three pooints, Wilfried Zaha - making his second debut for Palace, smashed a low shot into Tim Krul's net to deny the toon army a win.

Alan Pardew is looking incensed as that late goals has cost his side all three points.

WHAT A GAME! ZAHA HAS EQUALISED FOR PALACE! The winger meets a nod down in the box and smashes a low shot past Krul to secure a point for the visitors! Amazing scenes at St James' Park!
92
The hosts are content just to hold the play up in the corner but the Eagles are looking to swoop and break instantly. Coloccini is standing strong at the back and will have to keep his defence organised in the dying moments of this game.
90
There will be SEVEN (yes, SEVEN!) minutes of added on time!

GOAL FOR NEWCASTLE! What a difference Rolando Aarons has made! The winger cuts inside, chips a lovely shot onto the post but his team mate Williamson is on hand to tap it home on the rebound!
86
Neil Warnock is encouraging his charges on as this game draws to a close. Will there be late drama here at St James' Park?
84
81
Despite drawing level, this has not been a good performance from Alan Pardew's men. The gaffer will look to owner Mike Ashley to do some business before the transfer window shuts as he looks to improve this side.
85
AARONS GOES FOR IT! The midfielder goes for goal again with a curling right footed effort that drifts marginally off target! What a strike that would have been!
79
SO CLOSE! Zaha brings a lovely save from Krul from close range and then drags his shot across goal on hte second attempt. It's just not going for him this afternoon.

DISALLOWED! Zaha goes straight up the other end and puts Palace level! But wait...the linesman has his flag up having adjudged the winger to be offside. He looked level from my viewpoint...

AARONS ON HIS DEBUT! Rolando Aarons, the teenager making his debut today, heads his side level at the back post form a corner and with a goal from nowhere the Magpies are back in it! Campbell came off the line far too early and should have been in place to clear that off the line but it's the 18 year old who makes it 2-2!
72
ZAHA GOES CLOSE! The winger tricks his way past two defenders and takes a low shot across Krul's goal, but the Dutchman saves well and pounces on the rebound.
71
OUCH! Dwight Gayle, who opened the scoring within 30 seconds today, takes a swipe down his achilles and looks to be in trouble here. The goalscorer could be going off as Zaha makes his bow.

18-year-old winger Aarons is on for Gouffran. Will the youngster trouble Mariappa and help pull his side level?
