Newcastle United and Chelsea’s Saturday lunchtime clash was an absolute barnstormer—with both teams full of energy and one dominating the other in a contest that was as close to the dictionary definition of “game of two halves” as you’ll get. Of course, there was refereeing controversy involved too.
Nick Woltemade sent the home support into raptures just four minutes in and it wasn’t long until the gangly German had doubled his account, deftly flicking the ball past Robert Sánchez after terrific play out on the wing by Anthony Gordon.
