Chelsea endured a disappointing defeat today, falling to Newcastle United 2-0 at St. James' Park in a crucial Premier League clash. The match saw Chelsea struggle to break down Newcastle's defense, with Sandro Tonali opening the scoring early in the first half and Bruno Guimarães sealing the victory with a late goal.
Adding to Chelsea's woes, striker Nicolas Jackson received a **straight red card** in the first half for an elbow on Sven Botman, leaving the Blues to play with ten men for the remainder of the match. Despite their numerical disadvantage, Chelsea showed resilience, with goalkeeper Nick Pope making key saves to deny Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernández an equalizer.
This defeat is a significant setback for Chelsea in their pursuit of Champions League qualification, while Newcastle strengthened their position in the top four with the win.
