Chelsea Stumbles Again: Newcastle Takes the Points Thanks to Isak

Chelsea's woes continued on Saturday as they suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United. The Blues, who have been struggling for consistency this season, simply couldn't find their rhythm against a determined Magpies side.

The only goal of the game came in the 67th minute, courtesy of a well-taken strike from Newcastle's Swedish forward, Alexander Isak. The former Real Sociedad man received a clever pass from Bruno Guimaraes and calmly slotted the ball past Kepa Arrizabalaga. It was a moment of individual brilliance that ultimately decided the match.

Chelsea, despite having a higher share of possession and creating a few decent chances, lacked the cutting edge needed to break down a stubborn Newcastle defense. They were also undone by a couple of individual errors, which ultimately cost them dearly. This defeat leaves Chelsea in 11th place in the Premier League table, a far cry from the title aspirations they had at the start of the season.

This is a worrying trend for Chelsea, who are now without a win in their last four Premier League games. They've lost their last two home games, and manager Graham Potter is starting to feel the pressure. The fans are getting restless, and there are whispers of discontent in the dressing room.

What's next for Chelsea? They face a tough test against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Wednesday, before hosting Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby next weekend. They need a win, and fast, to turn their fortunes around. Can they rediscover their winning form? Only time will tell.
