The battle in the Premier League has just spiced up as Newcastle United defeated Chelsea in the all-important clash. Not a lot of football lovers expected it, but the defeat was a walk in the park.
Chelsea, with such a strong and dominant team, had no answer to the 2-0 loss that came their way. Today, we will be talking about the defeat in detail.
Unprofessional Chelsea; Organized Newcastle
As the game started with high hopes for Chelsea, Newcastle United made the first move. They kept on attacking and testing Chelsea’s defense.
Sandro Tonali started the game with an early goal, which gave Newcastle the advantage. Whereas, Chelsea played a poor game all along.
They hardly had a chance to score but instead went on to get the red card. Nicolas Jackson was handed the red card in the 35th minute for his elbow shot.
As VAR confirmed the red card, which was initially yellow by referee, but later changed the decision to hand red one and the 2nd minute goal by Newcastle United, Chelsea were already on the back foot right from the start.
The final nail in the coffin, as Newcastle United defeated Chelsea, came from Bruno Guimaraes in stoppage time. It was a clean finish that scripted the much-needed win for Newcastle.
