Newcastle manager Eddie Howe removed star players Isak and Guimaraes late in the game. Fans cheered both men as they left the field after helping secure a vital win. Guimaraes scored the final goal that pushed Newcastle closer to a Champions League spot next season. Chelsea faces tough competition for European football after this defeat. Manager Maresca made questionable decisions throughout the match.

Chelsea struggled after Nicolas Jackson received a red card for hitting Botman with his arm. The referee initially showed a yellow card but changed to red after checking the video replay. Jackson will miss the rest of the season due to suspension. Chelsea played better after Reece James entered the game despite having only ten players. Cucurella had their best chance with a shot that forced Pope to make a save.

Newcastle took an early lead when Tonali scored just two minutes into the match. Caicedo lost a battle with Gordon that led to the goal. Chelsea lacked attacking options through the middle of the field. The team created some chances from wide areas but could not find an equalizer. Newcastle held on for a win that improves their Champions League hopes.
