Back from the break, Palmer scored in the 57th minute to give Chelsea the lead again. He was assisted by Enzo Fernandez. In the 76th minute Mykhailo Mudrik scored from a ball extended by Gallagher. Chelsea lead by 3-1.
Newcastle’s Jacob Murphy reduced the deficit after 90 minutes with a right-footed shot from the right side of the box. He was assisted by Lewis Milley. This goal narrowed the gap but was not enough to avoid defeat.
