Newcastle leads through Tonalla and Chelsea to 10 men with Jackson sent

Newcastle appeared on the course to move to third place in the Premier League after taking the lead against Chelsea’s side reduced to 10 men after the dismissal of Nicolas Jackson attacker.

Sandro Tonali put the home side ahead of two minutes while the hosts quickly started and continued to boss the first half, and Chelsea struggled to create any attacking swing.

Tonalia’s goal followed after a quick rest after the corner of Chelsea.

Anthony Gordon’s attempt to win punishment after descending under the challenge of Moises Caicedo failed, but the ball was reworked by Jacob Murphy on the right, and his low cross raised Tonali home in a far place.

Jackson Red puts Newcastle in solid control

Newcastle ran forward at every opportunity, and Alexander Isaac should have achieved it 2-0 after 20 minutes, but scored his shot when he was well placed.

Cole Palmer had several blocked blows while Chelsea finally got into the game, but their momentum paused when Jackson was fired after 35 minutes.

Judge John Brooks initially showed Senegal attacker a yellow card after grabbing Sven Botman with a glittering hand, but Var instructed the clerk to go to the monitor on the playground and after that he was upgraded to red.
