It is a benefit of Newcastle in the Champions League Race now while putting three points between each other and Chelsea who could now end the day outside the top five.
Here is how Sunssport’s Joshua Hall rated the performance of each Chelsea star In St James’ Park …
Robert Sanchez – 6
It is rare that Robert Sanchez is not one of the main reasons that Chelsea has been on the receiving side of a defeat, but he did not do very wrong today.
The shot stopper was not peppered with shots, but did enough when you were confronted with efforts that you would expect to save.
Moises Caicedo – 5
The Chelsea player of the season followed Sandro Tonali’s run in the box in the opening fairs that Newcastle gave the early lead.

You can offer the reservation that he played out of position, but the improvised right back was chased the majority of the game as Anthony Gordon I have their 1V1 struggle better.
He looked much more comfortable when he slid in midfield, but did not defend most of his work at all.
He was shifted back to midfield for the second half afterwards Reece James‘Replacement and looked much better with the ball at his feet.
Good luck is not booked to make FIVE Errors.
Trevoh Chalobah – 7
You have to wonder why Chelsea Chalobah once lets go Crystal Palace.
Since the return he has become a crucial part of their back line and he was one of the few players who could keep their heads high in the first half after making a few crucial blocks and vital tackles.
He sometimes also looked comfortable on the ball in the second spell before he was replaced by Malo -tand meat While Mareca tried to change things.
Levi Colwill – 5
Not the best show of the young center-back that was a reflection of how Chelsea played more than what as a whole.
He has made a crucial tackle in the area to prevent Harvey Barnes From releasing the Sanchez network in 73rd minute.
Marc Cucurella – 5
Pulled a strong savings Nick Pope In the second half in what was one of the few positive moments for Chelsea.
The Spaniard sometimes had a lot of space along the left flank, but Jackson was sent away, he had no one to strive for in the box.
He had a great season for the blues, but this was one of his weaker versions – but by no means the worst performer in the day.
Romeo Lavia – 4
You would be forgiven that you think he was not on the field in the first half as the midfielders of Newcastle just bypassed him.
But he saw much more of the ball in the second half when the general game of Chelsea improved enormously.
He is still only 21 and there are absolutely signs that he can be a top player, but if he is surrounded by a defective group of Megastars, you can see why he might be struggling.
Addicted at 75 minutes before Jadon Sancho.
Enzo Fernandez – 5
Probably the best midfielder for Chelsea on the day, but that was not a difficult task given the condition of the versions.
The blues spent more than £ 200 million on Caicedo and Fernandez and neither looked close to their price tags today.
They have to perform at the big moments – this was a huge game for the hope of the Club’s Champions League.
Cole Palmer – 4
Maybe we all jumped on the gun when we said a 96th minute penalty had died Cole Palmerseason around Liverpool Last weekend.
The England Star still seems to be struggling to play the free -flowing football that everyone has made this period enthusiastic last season.
It does not help that Palmer was forced to play like a false nine for the second half after the moment of madness of Nicolas Jackson.
Yet he is a shadow of his former self – characterized by his balloon attempt at a first time cross in the 80th minute.
Pedro Neto – 5
Had Chelsea’s some clear spark in the first half when he used his pace to break down the wing and test the athletics of the Newcastle back line.
But just like the rest of Chelsea’s attack, he had very little real impact on the game.
He cost Chelsea £ 55 million in the summer and has only managed four goals in 33 Premier League onions this season – he has to offer more.
Noni Madueke – 4
Offered very little if Chelsea in the first half under the Cosh was placed by Newcastle.
Sometimes he feels that he is an excess of a luxury player to work in such a well -drilled system, such as Maresca’s.
Was the victim of the tactical half-time switch for Reece James after the Nicolas Jackson Red Card.
Nicolas Jackson – 1
Mindiless decision for Hef his elbow and plow straight in the face of Sven Botman In the first half.
Variety Was right to send John Brooks to the monitor and to ensure that he waved a red card.
Jackson will now miss the rest of the season who, in combination with the injury of Christopher Nunku, leaves the blues without a striker while trying to earn a place back in the Champions League.
Jackson now has more cards (4) than target contributions (3) in the Premier League in 2025.
Enzo Maresca has the right to mess around.
Subs
Reece James (for Madueke, 45min) – 5
Had to come to help change the system after the decision of the red card.
Didn’t have much influence on the procedure because Chelsea had difficulty creating clear opportunities.
Jason Sancho (for Lavia, 75min) – 5
A few nice moments on the ball, but should do more if he is set to make a difference.
Malo Gusto (for Chalobah, 75min) – 4
Did very little in the time he got on the field.
