Crystal Palace crashed out of the Capital One Cup at the third round after a 3-2 extra-time defeat at home to beleaguered 10-man Newcastle United on Wednesday night.

Having beaten Everton 3-2 in the Premier League last weekend, boss Neil Warnock changed all 11 players for the visit of the Geordies, who reside at the foot of the table.

There were full debuts for Kevin Doyle and Zeki Fryers in a side that still boasted summer signing Brede Hangeland, Wilfried Zaha and Dwight Gayle – he who scored a hat-trick in the last round at Walsall.

It was Gayle who opened the scoring at Selhurst Park, burying a spot kick won when Zaha was upended by Daryl Janmaat.

However, Newcastle, who were the more dangerous side, were level before the break when Emmanuel Riviere turned Hangeland on the edge of the box and fired past the flat-footed Wayne Hennessey.

Newcastle were ahead early in the second half courtesy of Riviere’s spot kick – given after Paddy McCarthy brought down Sammy Ameobi.

Palace, spurred on by the introduction off the bench of Andy Johnson, had chances to level including a Gayle header they clipped the outside of the post.

But it was left to another substitute to make the difference when Sullay Kaikai, on his senior debut, hit the leveller in injury time.

The tide seemed to turn further in Palace’s favour in the first half of injury time when Mehdi Abeid was sent off for a second bookable offence.

However, after surviving a Gayle strike ruled out for offside, Newcastle’s 10 men took the lead when Paul Dummett connected with Adam Armstrong’s cross to nod the ball past Hennessey.

There was to be further drama when Elliot pulled of a world class point blank save to deny Adrian Mariappa, and before Gayle could dispatch the rebound, the referee blew for a Palace indiscretion.

However, there was to be no second comeback, and Palace can now look forward to Premier League action on Saturday when Leicester City are the visitors to Selhurst Park.

Warnock said: “I thought it was a cracking game and it shows the state the club is in when I can make 11 changes and we put in a performance like that.

“People thought I’d put out a weakened side, but they played with no fear and I was proud of them.

“There was no way I could play the players who played at Everton, not after all that hard work.

“Besides, it was a chance to have a look at some of the other players, and they gave a good account of themselves.

“Sullay [Kaikai] and Jake [Gray] deserved their chance are doing well in the U21s, and if the young players do well, they will get their chance.”

He added: “I thought the second disallowed goal was disappointing, if it had been anywhere else on the pitch I could have understood it.

“But Adlene [Guedioura] has barely touched the defender, and he’s gone down looking for a free-kick, which the ref gave him.

“We could have had more from the fouls on Wilfried Zaha, which was also disappointing.”
