Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Anthony Gordon’s first goal for Champions League-bound Newcastle United earned them a final Premier League point in a 1-1 draw at Chelsea on Sunday to ensure the home side’s chaotic season ended with a whimper.

It took only nine minutes for Gordon to strike, poking home a cross from Allan Saint-Maximin with the Chelsea defence in disarray. Chelsea, whose 12-place finish is their worst since 1994, levelled in the 27th minute when Kieran Trippier became entangled in Raheem Sterling’s awkward low shot and the ball bounced off his arm into his own net.

Eddie Howe’s Newcastle finished the season in fourth place while Chelsea say farewell to interim coach Frank Lampard, their third manager of the season, who earned only one win in his 11 games in charge. Mauricio Pochettino has signed a contract to take over this summer as the rebuild in west London prepares to get underway.

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount looks emotional as he leaves Stamford Bridge after chance to say goodbye

20:44 , Jonathan Gorrie

Mason Mount looked emotional as he left Stamford Bridge after what could be his Chelsea farewell.

The midfielder was not fit to play in the 1-1 draw to Newcastle but joined the rest of the squad when they did a traditional end-of-season lap of appreciation after the match.

Mount came back out onto the pitch once supporters had left and looked emotional as he shared an embrace with a member of the Chelsea backroom staff.

Mauricio Pochettino to get straight to work at Chelsea after Frank Lampard signs off on a positive note

19:29 , Jonathan Gorrie

Chelsea finished their dismal season on a positive note playing a Mauricio Pochettino style of football.

The Blues lined up in Pochettino’s favoured 4-2-3-1 formation against Newcastle to offer the same attacking approach they took to Old Trafford on Thursday. Only this time it worked.

Chelsea player ratings vs Newcastle: Noni Madueke shines but Kai Havertz anonymous

19:03 , Jonathan Gorrie

Frank Lampard got his positive send off in Chelsea’s final game of the season after his side raised their game to earn a well-deserved draw against Newcastle.

Raheem Sterling forced a Kieran Trippier own goal but the Blues again squandered a host of chances despite getting level after Anthony Gordon’s early strike.

The England international himself was the most guilty of missing a crucial chance late on in the final match of the season that confirmed the Blues’ 12th-placed finish.

It is the lowest that Chelsea have finished in the league since 1993, while they’ve recorded the fewest points, goals and wins ever in the Premier League era.

Frank Lampard signs off with creditable draw at Stamford Bridge

19:02 , Jonathan Gorrie

Chelsea ended a miserable season with a creditable draw with Newcastle on the final day of the Premier League.

It took a Kieran Trippier own goal, the defender deflecting the ball into the net midway through the first half, to cancel out Anthony Gordon’s early strike and spare the outgoing coach the ignominy of a ninth defeat in his 11 games in charge.

Chelsea’s problems up front

15:00 , Jonathan Gorrie

Chelsea have had 16 different players score this season, more than any other team in the Premier League. In spite of this statistic, only 3 teams have scored less goals than Chelsea in the Premier League this year.

Chelsea also have the 4th lowest conversion rate of any team in the Premier League at just 8.01%, which they’ll need to improve on if they’re to stand any chance against Newcastle.

The Blues’ 14 goals in the first half of matches this season is also the lowest total of any Premier League club, so fans will be hoping to see an improvement on that number today. 62.16% of Chelsea’s goals have been in the second half this season, with 29.13% of goals scored in the final 15 minutes of games.

Chelsea: Frank Lampard reveals Enzo Fernandez sympathy with big prediction for star under Mauricio Pochettino

14:36 , Jonathan Gorrie

Frank Lampard believes Enzo Fernandez “knows what is required” to be a Chelsea superstar as he backed him to shine under Mauricio Pochettino despite a quiet start to life in the capital.

The 22-year-old Argentine midfielder joined in a British record transfer from Benfica in January shortly after winning the World Cup.

Yet the £106million talent has not been able to stop Chelsea from registering their lowest points total in the Premier League era.

Caretaker manager Lampard has nonetheless outlined his faith in Fernandez’s ability to justify his price tag and eight-and-a-half-year contract. He told reporters: “I’ve got a lot of faith that Enzo will be a big part of what happens in the future of this club.

Chelsea: Benoit Badiashile to miss start of next season in blow to Mauricio Pochettino plans

14:31 , Jonathan Gorrie

Mauricio Pochettino’s plans at Chelsea have suffered an early setback, with defender Benoit Badiashile expected to miss the start of next season due to a groin injury.

Badiashile missed yesterday’s 1-0 defeat at Manchester City after pulling up in training last week and was due to undergo surgery today that could keep him out for up to four months.

Losing Badiashile for the start of his Chelsea rebuild is a blow for Pochettino, who is finalising his appointment and sees pre-season as a crucial time to implement his methods and philosophy on the squad.

Badiashile has made an encouraging start to his Chelsea career following his £35million January move from Monaco and has been targeting an important role in the team next season.

Joao Felix gives fresh update on Chelsea future as on-loan forward hails ‘top club’ ahead of summer decision

14:26 , Jonathan Gorrie

Joao Felix revealed he has “loved” his time at Chelsea, with the forward speaking in glowing terms about his loan spell in England.

The 23-year-old joined the club in January from Atletico Madrid, though suffered a disastrous start to his Chelsea career as he was sent off on debut against Fulham and did not make his second appearance for the club for another month.

Felix has scored only three Premier League goals, and has struggled for regular minutes since Frank Lampard arrived to take interim charge of the club following Graham Potter’s sacking.

It’s believed that Atletico would want £88million to make the move a permanent one this summer, though could be open to another loan deal for a fee in the region of £16m after Felix fell out of favour under Diego Simeone in Madrid.

Chelsea scrap end-of-season awards night due to miserable men’s team campaign

14:19 , Jonathan Gorrie

Chelsea have decided against holding an end-of-season awards night after their troubled season.

The club felt a ceremony at Stamford Bridge would be inappropriate given they are languishing in the bottom half of the table and will register their lowest-ever points total in the Premier League.

Awards for men’s player of the season, academy player of the season and goal of the season will instead be presented before their final home match against Newcastle on Sunday.

Mason Mount preparing Chelsea fans farewell as Manchester United plot summer transfer

14:14 , Jonathan Gorrie

Mason Mount is preparing to say his goodbyes to Chelsea supporters at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, with the midfielder increasingly likely to leave his boyhood club this summer.

Incoming head coach Mauricio Pochettino has indicated that he wants to keep Mount but is yet to exert any influence over his future amid a contract stand-off with Chelsea.

Mount has been left in limbo, having not had any direct contact with Pochettino despite some ongoing dialogue with the club over the past few weeks.

Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly last met the 24-year-old in April but there has yet to be a follow-up contract offer, raising the prospect that he will leave at the end of the season.

Reece James issues apology to Chelsea fans for subpar season in response to injury news

Reece James has issued an apology to Chelsea fans as a dreadful season comes to a close at Stamford Bridge.

Newcastle visit west London on Sunday with 11th place the best outcome for a Blues team which has scored a record-low number of points in the club’s Premier League era.

Right-back James will not feature on the final day after aggravating a hamstring injury this week, capping a season which has been plagued by fitness issues for the 23-year-old.

Chelsea wins: 78

Newcastle wins: 55

Prediction: Routine win for Newcastle

14:02 , Jonathan Gorrie

The only thing in Chelsea’s favour is the question mark over Newcastle’s motivation, with their top-four spot already sealed.

Even with that it’s difficult to see the Blues picking up a rare win, with the backline alarmingly vulnerable against Manchester United and the same problems up front still clearly there. The Magpies should prove too good.

Newcastle to win, 2-0.

Mason Mount is a significant doubt for Chelsea, meaning he may well have played his final match for the club. Reece James is also set to be unavailable after reportedly suffering a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury, and Benoit Badiashile is expected to miss a number of months.

Lewis Hall will keep his place at left-back with Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella out, while Thiago Silva will likely return to side after being rested against Manchester United.
