After a recent upturn in form, Chelsea came crashing down to earth on Saturday after being routed 4-1 by Newcastle in the English Premier League. Influential Chelsea defender Reece James was also sent off in the match at St. James’ Park as Mauricio Pochettino suffered his heaviest loss since becoming manager of the London club. Goals from Alexander Isak, Jamaal Lascelles, Joelinton and Anthony Gordon secured the win for Newcastle, with Raheem Sterling scoring for Chelsea. Newcastle’s win came after back-to-back losses against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League and losing to Bournemouth in the Premier League. Midtable Chelsea have conceded four goals in consecutive games after drawing 4-4 with Manchester City before the international break.
