Late Havertz strike helps Chelsea sink brave Newcastle (unknown)

The German forward produced Chelsea's only shots on target in a stilted performance against a belligerent Newcastle side.

Worst of all came after 55 minutes, when he failed to bring down a ball over the top that, had he brought it in at all, would have created the best chance of the match. Newcastle had a penalty shout of their own turned down by referee Coote when Jacob Murphy had, in Eddie Howe’s words, the shirt “near enough ripped off his back” by Nathaniel Chalobah. The incident was looked at by the VAR, but it was not deemed to be a clear error not to award the penalty. Was lucky though not to have a penalty given against him when Jacob Murphy wriggled past him just before the hour mark. The incident was referred to VAR as a possible penalty incident, but Werner was ruled offside which rendered the foul null and void. Coote’s award of a yellow card was not seen as a “clear”.

The referee immediately issued a yellow card, but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) took a minute to investigate the incident while Burn was down.

Chelsea News: One of the Newcastle owners was spotted outside Stamford Bridge ahead of the game on Sunday.

“We like the challenge of buying a club at 20th position [in the Premier League] and getting it to the top.” Quotes that would have delighted the Newcastle away fans who were in great noise on Sunday before Kai Havertz silenced the travelling Toon Army with his well taken goal. The Toon hero who had bought the club from Mike Ashley did have her say on the Roman Abramovich situation with questions about the Blues came up in a recent interview. But we do have to hold all of our relationships to account.” She went on to add: “One great thing about taking four years to buy Newcastle is we had a great opportunity to look at every club, including Chelsea. “Chelsea is a wonderful club, but there was only one club for us and will only ever be one club for us.

Ex-Premier League referee slams two glaring errors in Chelsea vs Newcastle (unknown)

Newcastle United were denied a well-earned point against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, when Kai Havertz scored a late winner, with two contentious decisions ...

That makes a mockery of VAR.” "We are still in a relegation battle. “Havertz should have received a red card for his high elbow into the face of Newcastle’s Burn.

EPL's Sportswashing Derby Bound By Murky Owners (unknown)

On the eve of Chelsea vs Newcastle — dubbed a 'sportswashing derby' — Bin Salman's regime carried out the largest known mass execution.

“You’re never going to change any Chelsea fan’s opinions on him,” 64-year-old fan Kim Clark said. “It just goes to show if we’ve got a (new) owner — we’re bound to have billionaire owners, otherwise you can’t afford this club these days — anything can happen that could change that in a week. But the moves against Abramovich’s British businesses serve as a cautionary warning for Newcastle fans celebrating their newfound investment and how geopolitical tensions can impact a Premier League team. While Newcastle shows solidarity toward the Ukrainian victims of Russia’s aggression, the Saudis are involved in a war against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen that has spawned the world’s worst humanitarian disaster. And yet during a match where the chants were most memorable, they still bellowed: “Abramovich is a war offender”. Newcastle certainly has the richest owners in football.

Chelsea vs Newcastle player ratings: Havertz's goal separates the ... (The Pride of London)

Chelsea defeated Newcastle at Stamford Bridge thanks to a late goal from Kai Havertz, here is how the rest of the team performed.

Antonio Rudiger was the guiltiest of the “foot on the ball for long only to make a five-yard pass” routine. He did win a majority of his duels though. Chelsea needed to manage the game for long enough so that a moment of brilliance decided it. On one hand, he made a memorable save for a shot he didn’t have much time to see. Mendy’s save ultimately saw the Blues hold on to the clean sheet, so he deserves credit for that. The Blues did not have a good game save for some brilliant moments from Hakim Ziyech, Jorginho and Kai Havertz though, so taking three points on the day is a huge victory in the grand scheme of things.
