DeAndre Yedlin has insisted he and his Newcastle United team-mates must move on quickly after their disappointing Newcastle 0-1 Crystal Palace: Wasted chances and Lejeune's injury prove costly - 5 things we learned
The US international almost put his side in front in the second half with a fizzing shot at the Gallowgate End but ended up costing United three points when upending Wilfried Zaha with 10 minutes left.
Luka Milivojević calmly converted after Stuart Attwell had awarded the late spot-kick and Yedlin faced up to the situation after the game .
He said: “I can’t really argue with the ref on that as I know I caught him.
“I don’t think I slid in and tried to take him down, I slowed down and caught him.
“I did catch him so I can’t argue with the ref’s decision.”
Newcastle now face Leicester City on Friday night at the King Power Stadium as they look to stave off the threat of the drop.

Yedlin said: “We have to move on as quickly as possible, that’s the motive.
“We have to focus on the next game.
“We are quite close to safety now.”
And looking back on the defeat against Palace, on a day in which United had 18 attempts at goal, the American said: “It was disappointing as obviously we were quite close and had a lot of chances.
“We were just unfortunate at the defensive end.
“I agree with the manager the performance was quite good, we created chances and got in good areas.
“It was just the details on the attacking and defensive side.”
