Newcastle did not take it lightly with the Blues as Eddie Howe's mean ensured the took all three points in the match.

Chelsea were hoping to get back on top of their recent form but Newcastle proved too strong for Pochettino's men.

Mauricio Pochettino had to watch from the stands after he is serving ban for his third yellow card of the season from the game against Manchester City.

In the stand, he saw the Magpies go into the lead just 13 minutes after teenager Lewis Miley found Alexander Isak, who converted the chance.

The game started off one sided with Newcastle taking all possession and also the lead in the first 30 Minutes of the match before Chelsea equalized through Raheem Sterling's outrageous freekick in the 23rd minute.

Newcastle United took the lead again in the second half after James Lascellas scored a beautiful headed goal to add worries to Pochettino's side.

The home team added another goal in just 90 seconds and this time from Joelinton who was just to time to finish off a mistake from the Blues.

Chelsea's woes added as captain Reece James saw a second yellow card for a flimsy tackle on Antony Gordon and was sent to the dressing room.


Newcastle United took advantage of James's sending off to round the score to 4-1 and it was Gordon that sealed the game for the Magpies.
