Cole Palmer played a pivotal role as Chelsea triumphed over Newcastle in the Premier League encounter. Palmer's defining moment came in the 57th minute, executing a precise touch to free the ball from his feet before delivering a powerful and precise shot past goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
The Blues seized an early advantage when Sven Botman's subpar clearance fell into Palmer's path, and he skillfully redirected the ball into the bottom corner with a well-placed shot, marking his second goal in consecutive league games.
Newcastle momentarily rekindled hope with Aleksander Isak's forceful strike from the edge of the area just before halftime. However, Palmer swiftly re-established Chelsea's lead with another clinical contribution.
A noteworthy moment unfolded when substitute Mykhailo Mudryk intercepted a pass from teammate Conor Gallagher, weaving through the Newcastle defense before expertly rounding Dubravka to score from a challenging angle.
Despite Jacob Murphy's impressive late goal in the 90th minute, Mauricio Pochettino's squad managed to secure their 11th victory of the campaign. Chelsea currently holds the 11th position in the table, with a game in hand over Newcastle, who sit a point and a place above them.
