The pressure on Chelsea is once more heavier for them to bear. I was at the onset thinking the absence of some key Newcastle players due to injury would make them the prey, but this isn't the case and R.Sterlin has had more responsible from his first equaling goal till now.
Newcastle is sure one of the best teams so far and they are showing why they should be one of the top teams in English football.
The match was balanced in the first half because both teams maintained their tempo well. The first half ended 1-1, but the second half was a disaster for Chelsea where they had to accept conceding 3 additional goals from Newcastle. Regarding this match, Chelsea once again failed to maintain their consistency in getting points in every match, even if they held Manchester City to a draw and beat Tottenham in the previous match.
There wasn't much Pochettino could do for Chelsea in this match because in the end all his plans failed. Newcastle dominated and played well at home, the 4-1 scoreline is something that will motivate them to face PSG in the Champions League in the next few days.
