Malick Thiaw
24-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
Scores goal in victory
Thiaw scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 win against Crystal Palace.
ANALYSIS
Thiaw sealed the win in the 78th minute by stabbing home after Bruno Guimaraes' corner caused a goalmouth scramble. Palace had defended well for long stretches, but they could not deal with the second phase of the set piece. Thiaw's finish removed the tension from the closing minutes and confirmed a 2-0 home win for the Magpies. The center-back was also impressive defensively, contributing 10 clearances, two blocks, and a season high five tackles, three of which were successful, to help Newcastle secure their first clean sheet since early November.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Newcastle move inching closer?
Thiaw has reached an agreement with Newcastle United over personal terms, according to transfer expert Rudy Galetti.
ANALYSIS
Even though the agreement on personal terms is a key step ahead of a move, the transfer remains a bit far from completion. That's because AC Milan are holding out for a 40 million euros in a potential transfer, while Newcastle's most recent bid was 30 million. Until both clubs reach an agreement, there won't be any progress.
