In the central match of the 36th round of the English Premier League, "Newcastle United" hosted London's "Chelsea" at their home ground. Both teams were fighting for high positions in the league table before this match, making the contest principled and intense.
From the very first minutes of the match, "Newcastle" started with great intensity and high pressure. As a result of this pressure, in the second minute, the home team's midfielder Sandro Tonali accurately targeted the "Chelsea" goal, scoring a quick goal and opening the scoring. His goal delighted the fans in the stadium and gave the team a significant psychological advantage.
Midway through the first half, the situation became even more complicated for "Chelsea." In the 35th minute of the match, "the aristocrats" forward Nicolas Jackson committed a very rough foul and was penalized with a red card. As a result, "Chelsea" was left with ten players on the field in the first half and could not find an opportunity to change the situation in the second half.
In the second half, "Newcastle" significantly increased the number of attacks due to their numerical advantage and created several dangerous situations in front of the "Chelsea" goal. Although the guests' goalkeeper and defenders tried their best to prevent goals, in the end, the hosts proved their superiority once again.
In the 90th minute, one of the leading players of the hosts, Brazilian Bruno Guimarães, scored the second goal, determining the final result of the match – 2:0. "Newcastle" secured an important and convincing victory in front of their fans.
With this result, "Newcastle" increased their points to 66, climbing to third place in the EPL table and improving their chances of qualifying for the Champions League. "Chelsea," on the other hand, remained in fifth place with 63 points and will face serious difficulties in securing a Champions League spot until the end of the season.
Thus, "Newcastle's" victory today became a great celebration for the team's fans. "Chelsea," however, must work to correct the mistakes made in the remaining rounds, otherwise they risk finishing the season unsuccessfully.
