NEWCASTLE 2-0 CHELSEA: An Alexander Isak strike and an own goal from Axel Disasi earned the Magpies a place in the final eight of the Carabao Cup to breathe new life into their season
Eddie Howe’s side blew Chelsea away in 26 minutes with the kind of intensity that has been missing. The Geordies finally found a formula that clicked allowing Alexander Isak to set up a win confirmed by an own goal by Axel Disasi.
The aggression of Newcastle’s press saw Renato Veiga forced into a risky pass on the edge of his box by Joelinton, and Tonali’s tackle on Enzo Fernandez teed up Alexander Isak. The Swede looked back to strength and slotted his second goal in four days from ten yards out. Maresca made eleven changes and Howe rejigged his side resting Bruno Guimaraes, who will now have to prove he too can be this intense. Lloyd Kelly was in for Dan Burn only to present Chelsea with a chance within 60 seconds but Christopher Nkunku hit a weak shot at Nick Pope.
