Newcastle takes a step towards the C1

Magnificent operation for Newcastle! The Magpies struck a blow by beating Chelsea (2-0), this Sunday, in a duel between suitors in the Champions League.

Sandro Tonali vibrated Saint James' Park in the 2nd minute, and the meeting went wrong for the blues with the red card received by Nicolas Jackson, guilty of a bad gesture (35th). At the end of the meeting, Bruno Guimaraes sheltered from a deflected strike (90th).

In the ranking, Newcastle (66 points) takes third place at the expense of Manchester City (65 pts). Chelsea (63 pts) remains fifth, but could be ejected from the top 5 in case of success by Nottingham Forest (61 pts) against Leicester.
