Cole Palmer played a pivotal role as Chelsea secured a victory against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge. Palmer netted in the 57th minute with a skillful touch and a powerful low shot past goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
Earlier, Palmer capitalized on Sven Botman’s poor clearance, allowing Nicolas Jackson to cleverly steer the ball into the bottom corner for his second goal in as many league games.
Despite Aleksander Isak’s strong effort for Newcastle, Palmer reestablished Chelsea’s lead. A late contribution from substitute Mykhailo Mudryk, who capitalized on Conor Gallagher’s assist, secured the win despite Jacob Murphy’s late goal for Newcastle.
Mauricio Pochettino’s team clinched their 11th win of the campaign, maintaining an 11th position in the table with a game in hand on Newcastle, who are one point and one place above them.
