Chelsea secured a spot in the Premier League's top four with a hard-fought 2-1 win against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues were in charge and maintained control of the ball during the first half, while Eddie Howe's Magpies seemed unusually nervous as the game progressed. Cole Palmer, always keen to make an impact, found the net just six minutes in, but the goal was disallowed due to an offside earlier in the play.
Chelsea quickly took the lead when Palmer passed the ball to Pedro Neto, who rushed down the left side. Neto then set up Nicolas Jackson for an easy goal after a fast break.
Alexander Isak scored a somewhat clumsy equalizer, bringing the teams level just before halftime. However, it was Palmer who had the final say. Just under two minutes into the second half, he calmly netted a goal past Nick Pope, sealing the victory for the home side.

Palmer Talks With Sky Sports
Chelsea's key player, Cole Palmer, is the first to address Sky. He mentions that the team is ready to show those who doubt them that they can achieve success.
"I make an effort to go out and play my own style. That's how I approach it. I always aim to have fun with my football, focusing on each match as it comes."
I make an effort to avoid stressing myself out. There are many people around me who want me to match the performance I achieved last season in terms of statistics.
"This is only my second season playing football, and I’m still quite young."
When talking about Chelsea’s pursuit of a top-four finish, he mentioned: "Our focus is on playing our game and ignoring the distractions around us. We're not concerned about what others think and are happy to surprise the doubters."
"We're all youthful, and we have an excellent coach, but there's still room for growth."

Newcastle has an opportunity to launch an offense, but it lacks coordination. Dan Burn sends in a promising pass back, but there’s no one around to receive it.
Nkunku initiates the counterattack, but the referee blows the whistle for an offside violation.

The visiting team still has a chance, but they need to increase their pace. Chelsea is mainly controlling the ball at the moment. However, Newcastle has an opportunity as Nkunku gives away a free-kick and receives a yellow card.
Maresca is also scheduled for his response!
