Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle: Kieran Trippier’s own goal cancels out Anthony Gordon strike as Blues end up 12th and Magpies take fourth
Match report and highlights as a Kieran Trippier own goal comes after Anthony Gordon tapped in first goal for Newcastle; Chelsea finish the season in 12th with worst-ever Premier League points total; Magpies end up fourth and qualify for Champions League football.
Chelsea’s wayward finishing was again on show as their miserable season finished with a 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle, whose travelling supporters celebrated their fourth-placed finish at a sun-drenched Stamford Bridge.
The visitors, fresh from confirming a return to the Champions League for the first time in 20 years earlier this week, came flying out of the blocks and exposed a vulnerable Chelsea defence just nine minutes in, when an unmarked Anthony Gordon converted his first goal for the club from close range.
A Kieran Trippier own goal (27) gave the home fans something to celebrate, but, despite a series of off-target efforts in the second half and a glorious chance for Christian Pulisic in the final seconds, Chelsea could not find a way to sign off a terrible year with a win.
The draw means Chelsea finish the season with their lowest-ever Premier League points total of 44, with just 38 goals in 38 games and down in 12th place. Frank Lampard’s interim tenure ends with just one win from 11 games.
It could have been worse as Lewis Miley almost had a fairytale first appearance for Newcastle. The Gateshead-born 17-year-old – their youngest-ever Premier League appearance maker – stepped off the bench and clipped a shot against the top of the bar. He got a huge reception from the Newcastle fans, who celebrated long after the final whistle their season to remember.
How Chelsea and Newcastle signed off with a draw
Chelsea had shipped four goals at Old Trafford on Thursday and again their defence was opened up repeatedly in the first half here, with Kepa Arrizabalaga having to save from Alexander Isak with just two minutes on the clock, before Gordon capitalised on some non-existent marking for the opener.
Cesar Azpilicueta and Trevoh Chalobah stood off Allan Saint-Maximin and failed to close down Elliot Anderson, whose low cross found Gordon completely free to turn in the simplest of finishes.
