Chelsea vs Newcastle: Premier League - LIVE!
Chelsea returned to winning in the Premier League with a tough victory against Newcastle on Sunday. The Blues bounced back from last weekend's close loss to Liverpool, thanks to an impressive showing from Cole Palmer. He scored the decisive goal just after halftime and also had an early goal ruled out. Additionally, he set up Nicolas Jackson's first goal with a remarkable pass during a counter-attack.
Chelsea's 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge was just what they needed to climb into the top four, putting them ahead of Arsenal, who are set to face Liverpool in a critical match for the title at the Emirates Stadium. On the other hand, Newcastle remains in 12th place and has not won in their last five matches in the Premier League. This season, they have only managed to score more than once in two of their nine games. In the first half, Alexander Isak scored their equalizer from close range, and he almost added another goal after halftime, but Moises Caicedo managed to stop him.
The two teams will face off again soon in the Round of 16 for the Carabao Cup this Wednesday night at St James’ Park. Stay tuned for live updates on the Chelsea vs Newcastle match!
