Newcastle 2-0 Chelsea LIVE Score, Premier League 2025-26: Woltemade Double Compounds Blues' Fate At St. James' Park

Five minutes before we hit HT but Chelsea have improved themselves as they look to grab a goal before the break.

NUFC 2-0 CFC 40'

A long ball down the channel is hurting Chelsea as the Newcastle forward line are using their physicality to better use. CFC defence looks clueless and cannot control the home attack.

NUFC 2-0 CFC 32'

If his press-conference comments were to go by, Enzo Maresca is surely now under-pressure now with what his team has performed here. They have been over-run and out-maneuvered by the hosts.

NUFC 2-0 CFC 27'

Chelsea have been hit by the Nick Woltemade juggernaut. The German is right at the end of a great cross by Anthony Gordon and the forward makes no mistake to put it past David Sanchez. However, we have a VAR check. The goal stands!

NUFC 2-0 CFC 20'

Chelsea have not being given any time on the ball and that, coupled with the noise the home crowd is making, has them a little rattled. Cucurella is a prime example.

NUFC 1-0 CFC 17'

Newcastle win a corner and it is swung in the Chelsea defence but the latter hold it off with David Sanchez grabbing it both hands.

NUFC 1-0 CFC 14'

Chelsea look rattled here! Newcastle are all over the visitors and Enzo Maresca must be a worried man. The Magpies are showing tenacity and pressing high up the pitch.

NUFC 1-0 CFC 9'

Nick Woltemade has given his side lead inside the first 10 minutes of the game. Some retribution this for the German after last weekend's own-goal. Some start by the hosts.
