Premier League: Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Despite falling short of the Premier League top spot heading into World Cup break, Newcastle confirmed third with a Joe Willock goal against an out-of-form Chelsea side. Both teams were unable to open up space in the penalty area, but a flash of magic from last week's goalscorer separated the two. Chris Wood made two alterations to the 4-1 win against Southampton on Sunday, as Callum Wilson came in for Jacob Murphy and Joelinton replaced Jacob Murphy on the left side of our attack.
Lewis Hall made his debut for Chelsea and there was no Sterling, Aubameyang, Silva, Havertz, or Cucureka in their starting XI. Fabian Schar was injured after he gave away an early foul and Ruben Loftus-Cheek also went down shortly afterwards. With 10 minutes remaining on the clock, Newcastle had begun drop lower, yet, the visitors failed to act better.
