Newcastle - Chelsea 2:0

Newcastle United took a massive step towards Champions League qualification with a commanding 2-0 win over Chelsea in a high-stakes clash at St James' Park on Matchday 36 of the Premier League.

In a game billed as a direct battle for a top-four finish, Sandro Tonali fired the hosts in front with a goal inside the opening three minutes, setting the tone for a high-intensity encounter. Bruno Guimarães sealed the victory deep into stoppage time, sparking celebrations among the home faithful.

With this win, Newcastle move up to third in the table on 66 points, leapfrogging both Chelsea and Manchester United. They now trail second-placed Arsenal by just a single point. All eyes turn to tonight’s marquee matchup, as Arsenal host Liverpool at 17:30 CET, in what could reshape the title race and top-four standings.

For Chelsea, the defeat leaves them fifth on 63 points — still within Champions League territory for now. But their grip on a top-five finish could be short-lived, with Nottingham Forest set to face already-relegated Leicester City later today. A win for Forest could push the Blues down to sixth.
