Newcastle deepen Chelsea blues with 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge

Newcastle United has condemned Chelsea to their second defeat in four days when they won 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday, thanks to a first-half breakaway goal by Anthony Gordon.

Stinging from a 5-2 Champions League defeat at Paris St Germain, Liam Rosenior's side showed more defensive frailties when Joe Willock easily beat the offside trap and squared for Gordon to finish in the 18th minute.

Chelsea upped the intensity in the second half, but the closest they came to scoring was in the 93rd minute when captain Reece James hit the post from a free kick.

The defeat kept Chelsea in fifth place with their main challengers for the spots in next season's Champions League, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool, playing on Sunday. Newcastle climbed to ninth.
