O’Monstro failed. A gem from Raheem Sterling allowed Chelsea to get back on track against Newcastle in a very balanced Premier League display in the first half, an absence from Thiago Silva annihilated any hope of returning to the score again at the end of a disastrous sequence for Mauricio Pochettino’s players.
Newcastle had just regained the advantage on the hour mark on a header from Lascelles (60th), completely forgotten in the marking, when Thiago Silva got lost on a back pass towards his goalkeeper (61st).
Joelinton didn’t ask any questions
The Brazilian defender returned the ball to his compatriot Joelinton who was quick to convert this offering with his right foot from close range. Trailing 3-1, Chelsea also finished the match ten against eleven after the exclusion of Reece James for a second warning (73rd). Increasingly cornered in their area, Chelsea conceded a fourth and final goal, scored by Anthony Gordon (83rd).
Chelsea are provisionally 10th in the Premier League while awaiting the results of other matches, in particular the match between Brentford and Arsenal (Saturday at 6:30 p.m.). Chelsea will face Brighton on December 3 before visiting Manchester United three days later.
