UNBELIEVABLE NEWS;Newcastle announces new ownership recently due to..

Newcastle United have suffered heavier defeats at Stamford Bridge. Heck, the Magpies have only ever won once here in the Premier League. But this 2-1 loss against Chelsea hurt.

Newcastle had gone into the break level after Alexander Isak cancelled out Nicolas Jackson’s opener and scored the black-and-whites’ first goal from open play in five weeks. However, the visitors only had themselves to blame thereafter, whether it was the manner in which they lost the ball and stood off in the build-up to Cole Palmer’s winner or how Isak failed to score or pick out the unmarked Joelinton after rounding the goalkeeper late on.

It summed up Newcastle’s profligacy of late. In fact, Newcastle finished the game with a higher xG (1.85) than Chelsea (1.68) yet Eddie Howe’s team only mustered three efforts on target despite having 24 touches in the box and 11 shots. Sound familiar? Newcastle had 35 shots, 87 touches in the box and an xG of four in total in games against Brighton and Everton, but still failed to score. From high turnovers to big chances, there are a number of metrics Newcastle are down in this season.
