Chelsea secured a nail-biting 3-2 victory against Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge, extending their unbeaten streak to four league games. Despite Newcastle’s early pressure, Chelsea seized the lead in the sixth minute, marking their fastest goal in nearly six years.
After a resilient second-half performance from Newcastle, the score was level at 2-2, but Chelsea’s composure prevailed as they netted a late winner. The triumph eased some pressure off manager Mauricio Pochettino, who has faced criticism recently for his tactics.
Fans expressed mixed reactions to the game, with some attributing the win to luck, while others hailed Cole Palmer as the standout under-21 player in the league. Chelsea supporters voiced confidence in the team’s improvement, anticipating a solid finish in the top half of the table.
However, despite the victory, Chelsea remains in 11th place, albeit with a game in hand over teams both above and below them. They currently trail seventh-placed West Ham United by four points. Next up for Chelsea is a crucial FA Cup quarterfinal clash against Leicester City on March 17th.
