CHELSEA ’S IMPRESSIVE revival under Enzo Maresca gathered pace as Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer scored to earn a 2-1 victory over Newcastle at Stamford Bridge.
And the Sweden international spurned a golden chance to steal a point in the second half when, after rounding goalkeeper Robert Sanchez he seemingly failed to make a decision over whether to pass or shoot, squandering an open goal as Newcastle’s winless league run extended to five games. Advertisement Reece James was making his first Stamford Bridge appearance for almost a year with Maresca making the surprise decision to play him at left-back, and the captain’s concentration lapsed for Newcastle’s equaliser.
Chelsea had only won once at home in the league this season but fears that more points might slip away were alighted within seconds of the re-start. Levi Colwill’s biting challenge won possession, Romeo Lavia was equally bullish to poke the ball up to Palmer, and in a critical, inexplicable lapse Newcastle’s defence backed off.
