The Newcastle Magpies delivered a very good performance this Saturday during their opposition against Chelsea (4-1).
It is with the wind in their sails that Newcastle will travel to the Champions League next Tuesday, on behalf of the 4e Champions League day. The team from the north-east of England was reassured by beating Chelsea.
Newcastle did not tremble
In their stronghold of Saint-James Park, Eddie Howe’s men did not have too much difficulty winning. Especially since they finished the match with a numerical advantage. However, they did not wait to have an extra man on the field to seal the debate in this confrontation.
While the score was 1-1, after Sterling (23e) responded to Alexander Isak’s opener (13e), the locals put an end to all the suspense by scoring twice in one minute. Just after the hour mark, captain Lascelles and Joelinton found the net. The last 30 minutes of the game then looked like management, especially after the red taken by Reece James. In the 83rd minute, the young Gordon was responsible for adding to the score and bringing the score to 4-1.
