Newcastle fans were prevented from possible injuries from quick-thinking Magpies players after an advertising hoarding at Selhurst Park collapsed.
The travelling supporters celebrated wildly after the Toon took the lead against Crystal Palace in the 53rd minute with Marc Guehi’s own goal.

Anthony Gordon, who poked in the low cross, led the celebrations from the Newcastle players as they darted towards the away end.
And as those in the front few rows in the visiting corner rushed forwards, one of the advertising hoardings broke and fell to the floor.
Several fans fell over with one child appearing to land on a member of security, while others scrambled to stay on their feat.
Defenders Dan Burn and Fabian Schar immediately noticed, and quickly pushed it upright and back into place with the help of security.
Their actions thankfully meant none of the travelling fans appeared to suffer any injuries whatsoever.
It’s the second time this season that this has happened at Selhurst park, with West Ham stars Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen helping to save a ball boy.
