Mykhailo Mudryk scored a sensational solo goal as Chelsea FC kept alive slender hopes of qualifying for Europe via the Premier League with a 3-2 win over Newcastle at Stamford Bridge.

At 2-1 late in the second half, the result was in the balance but it was tipped decisively in Chelsea’s favour by a moment of magic from the substitute, taking the ball off Conor Gallagher’s foot at top speed and bamboozling his way beyond defender Fabian Schar before rounding the goalkeeper and finishing.

54’ - Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle

The Blues trying to up the ante and work their way into the penalty box down the right side again. Gusto is denied, Palmer tries his luck, Gusto tries again - Newcastle stand firm for now but they are looking a little ragged positionally.

50’ - Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle

End to end, not quite in the breathless, exciting way that Premier League games can be, but more in the we’ll-mess-up-you-mess-up kind of basketball encounter lacking any end product.

Neither team with any kind of control yet of this second 45 minutes.

46’ - Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle

Back underway, no further changes. Let’s see who steps things up this half.

Jamie Carragher explains how Man City exploited Liverpool approach to defending set pieces

Liverpool and Manchester City fought out an entertaining draw at the top of the Premier League table on Sunday, a result which ensured the title fight would continue heading into the final months of the 2023/24 campaign.

While the Reds thought they should have had a second penalty in the last minute of the match for a perceived foul on Alexis Mac Allister, the Argentine did earn a point by scoring the earlier spot-kick awarded for a foul on Darwin Nunez.

It was the game’s opening goal, though, which took centre stage on Monday Night Football as Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright dissected Kevin de Bruyne’s corner, turned in by John Stones.

The former Reds centre-back described the positional play of Jurgen Klopp’s team when facing set pieces, how he would approach them in his own playing days - and where Pep Guardiola may have spotted the opportunity to take advantage of the smallest gap.

Man City hit by Ederson injury absence ahead of crucial title run-in

Ederson is set to miss Manchester City’s potentially crucial clash with Arsenal after being ruled out for three to four weeks with the injury he picked up in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Liverpool.

The goalkeeper was hurt when fouling Darwin Nunez, conceding a penalty and collecting a booking, and was replaced by Stefan Ortega soon after Alexis Mac Allister converted the resulting spot kick.

And City’s bid for a fourth consecutive Premier League title has suffered a blow with Ederson ruled out of the meeting with Arsenal on 31 March and a major doubt for the game against fourth-placed Aston Villa three days later.

HT - Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle

Unexpected guest at the Bridge...

HT - Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle

Here’s that lovely finish from Isak - which was very much not in keeping with the minute or two beforehand as Guimaraes, Enzo, Gusto and others all contrived to concede possession far too easily.

HT - Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle

Chelsea finish the half strongly but their lax approach in the final ten minutes or so of that half has cost them dearly.

Sterling had a final chance before the whistle went after good work from Palmer and Gusto, but the No.7’s strike is straight at Dubravka and the ref ends the first 45.

Jackson with the opener, Isak the equaliser.

NO GOAL! 45’+1 - Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle

Immediately Chelsea have it in the net as Jackson takes on Schar and buries a low finish...but he’s just offside when the initial pass came through. Flag straight up and a quick check proves it was offside.

Four minutes added on.

Karl Matchett11 March 2024 20:47

GOAL! 44’ - Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle

Another one out of nothing!

Both teams spend about three minutes giving it away in ridiculous fashion, then Isak picks up possession, rolls away from a defender and pings it into the bottom corner from 20 yards! Great equaliser, great finish, 1-1.
