This game illustrates the characteristics of both teams, Newcastle are full of confrontation, especially Guimaraes and Tonali are both powerful midfielders; On the other hand, Chelsea is on the soft side, and the weakness of the striker is the team's biggest shortcoming this season, and Jackson even elbowed Chelsea early to play one less man in this game. Newcastle scored from the top to the end, Tonali and Guimaraes made contributions, and the middle part was actually dominated by Chelsea, but the Blues did not have a qualified striker in the whole team, and Palmer felt a bit of an anticlimactic, especially playing a tough game, and there was no superstar fan. After Newcastle won the top five battles in the Premier League, the league competition for five this season firmly took the lead, and the Magpies flew on the branches to become phoenixes, not only to win the League Cup, but also to play in the Champions League, and Chelsea's league five is a bit dangerous.
