Chelsea’s Champions League qualification hopes were dented after a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday.
Chelsea’s dismal record at St. James’ Park continued as the Blues played around 60 minutes with 10 men following Nicolas Jackson’s straight red card in the first half.
Sandro Tonali broke the deadlock after just two minutes with an unmarked tap-in at the back post from Jacob Murphy’s low cross.
Bruno Guimaraes sealed the victory in stoppage time with a deflected strike finding the top corner.

Locked on 63 points apiece in the Premier League table before kick-off, the game was billed as a season-defining fixture between two sides capable of closing the gap on second-placed Arsenal.
