Mudryk’s clever finish seals Chelsea win over Newcastle

It was a glorious goal, a wonderful showcase of Mudryk’s explosive talent, and Newcastle’s hopes of going seventh were done. They remain 10th after a careless display, only a point above a resurgent Chelsea.The bulletins from the medical staff have rarely delivered good news for Pochettino, whose latest tweaks were forced by Levi Colwill and Ben Chilwell joining the rest of the absentees before this game, although sympathy has been in short supply.

Marc Cucurella, starting at left-back for the first time since December, epitomised the fight. The Spaniard attacked every loose ball with relish, smothering Miguel Almirón, although there were times when he overstepped the mark. He should have been booked for bellowing at the linesman after being penalised for a clear trip on Tino Livramento, the former Chelsea right-back.

Chelsea were energised by Jackson’s 12th goal since joining from Villarreal. Palmer, keen to impress in front of Gareth Southgate, cut inside and tested Dubravka. Enzo Fernández leapt into tackles in midfield. Raheem Sterling drove down the left and made an opening for Jackson, who drew another save from Dubravka.

The equaliser led to a frantic spell that featured Jackson having a goal disallowed, Dubravka denying Sterling and Willock almost putting Newcastle ahead. The game was open, both sides flawed, and Newcastle threatened after half-time. Almirón, moved to the left following Gordon’s departure, stung Petrovic’s palms.
