Chelsea needed to win this game as much as Newcastle did, but a first half sending off by Nicolas Jackson did not help their cause. Enzo Maresca has admitted that Jackson now needs to learn from this situation moving forward.

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher now believes that Chelsea have a big problem after this defeat with just two games remaining of the season and the reality being that The Blues need two wins to guarantee a place in the Champions League for next season.

The news has caused a real stir amongst the Chelsea fan base, with some of them happy with it, and others being absolutely fuming about it.

What Chelsea sources are saying

Chelsea sources have confirmed to TBR Football that the club’s owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali are in agreement that Maresca should not and will not be replaced this summer – no matter where they finish.

“The season started really well, almost too well and at one point there was talk of possible title challenge but that was outside noises,” a source with knowledge of Chelsea confirmed to us.

“It was never going to happen and the club firmly believe they are on the right track with Maresca, he has brought this squad together and that has not been an easy task.”
