REUTERS - Newcastle United moved out of the relegation zone after a superb Andros Townsend free kick and a penalty save by Karl Darlow gave them a vital 1-0 home win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The result lifted the Magpies to 17th position on 33 points from 36 games. Sunderland have 32 from 35 and Norwich, who visit fourth-placed Arsenal in the 1630 GMT kickoff, have 31 from 34. Bottom-placed Aston Villa have already been relegated.
