THE BIGGER PICTURE: The 1-0 victory sees Newcastle reclaim the third spot in the Premier League table. Chelsea's third straight defeat in the division, meanwhile, will have Graham Potter searching for answers entering the World Cup break.
WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA AND NEWCASTLE? The home side will be the much happier of the two going into the break. Newcastle are well ahead of schedule in the eyes of their new owners, while Chelsea will be hoping the break will give them some much needed thinking time.
