Quiet off bench versus Newcastle Mateta had one shot on goal and made two clearances after coming off the bench during Saturday's scoreless draw against Newcastle. Impact Mateta was brought in the 64th minute to replace injured Wilfried Zaha and wasted was was probably his side's biggest scoring chance, although the goalkeeper made a great job to deny his shot. Other than that, the striker couldn't offer much impact while he was on the pitch. The extension of Zaha's injury is still to be known, but Mateta will very likely be on pole position to start if Palace's star can't recover for Feb. 4 visit to Manchester United.
