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.

Kieran Trippier backs Tino Livramento to succeed him for club and country
Kieran Trippier has backed young pretender Tino Livramento to establish himself as England’s right-back as he attempts to fend off his advances for both club and country.
Livramento, a £32million summer signing from Southampton, is likely to replace Trippier in Newcastle’s starting line-up for Monday night’s Premier League trip to Chelsea as the 33-year-old faces a spell on the sidelines with a minor calf injury.
However Trippier, who has been the standard-bearer for much of what the Magpies have achieved in the last two years, knows the 21-year-old is gunning for his places in both the Newcastle team and the England squad.

Chelsea vs Newcastle tips: Premier League predictions, betting odds and free bets
Chelsea’s character will be put to the test on Monday evening when they host Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.
The Blues earned a point on the road last time out as Axel Disasi’s late leveller secured a 2-2 draw against Brentford.
That result did nothing to help Chelsea’s European aspirations and they remain well off the pace of the top six. A victory over Newcastle would take them within a point of the 10th-placed Magpies with a game in hand over other sides in the race for European qualification.
Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is a man under pressure and a failure to qualify for the Europa League, or even the Europa Conference League, would leave him in a difficult position.
Here are our predictions for the showdown using the best Premier League odds.

Chelsea vs Newcastle - LIVE
Welcome to the Independent’s live coverage of Chelsea vs Newcastle on Monday night, a battle of the billions perhaps, American money versus Saudi oil cash, but far more pertinently for this 90 minutes, a meeting of 11th versus 10th. Neither club have been overly impressive or consistent this term, but European spots are still not out of reach...if they can string together winning streaks across the run-in.
FT - Chelsea 3-2 Newcastle
Mauricio Pochettino now on Sky:
“A massive three points for us against a very good team. A little disappointing in the way we concede goals, we need to show more capacity to deal with these situations but it’s the first time we play with this defensive line.
“Overall I am very happy. I think the fans need to realise and we need to realise we must stay together. This group of players are going to fight to give fans things and we need to build this relationship - it helped we scored at the beginning and they were behind us.
“Our responsibility is to win games and they need to trust in us and our performance.”
