Newcastle secured an impressive victory over Chelsea at St James’ Park with second-half goals from Jamaal Lascelles, Joelinton, and Anthony Gordon.
Lascelles’ header from Gordon’s cross put Newcastle in the lead on the hour mark, followed by Joelinton capitalizing on a Thiago Silva error just 90 seconds later.
Anthony Gordon sealed the win with his fifth goal of the season, as Chelsea finished the match with 10 men after Reece James received a second yellow card.
The victory moves Newcastle within three points of fourth-placed Tottenham, while Chelsea remains on 16 points.
