As enjoyable as honeymoon periods are, they must all, eventually, come to an end.
Chelsea had won seven of their first nine games under Liam Rosenior, only failing in that run to beat Arsenal in two EFL Cup meetings. At the start of Rosenior’s reign, very little went wrong.
But after disappointing home draws to Burnley and Leeds, in the last few days, things have started to unravel slightly. A midweek capitulation at Paris Saint-Germain has left Chelsea’s Champions League hopes hanging by a thread, and here, they slipped to a second defeat in a matter of days, deservedly losing at home to Newcastle in a blow to their hopes of securing a top-four finish. This particular honeymoon period is very much over.
Newcastle arguably had less to play for here, as they are in mid-table in the Premier League and their Champions League tie against Barcelona is still very much alive after a 1-1 first-leg draw. The second legs of those Champions League ties are this week.
That was probably the reason for Eddie Howe making five changes from Newcastle’s last Premier League game, the 2-1 win over Manchester United. Those included Joe Willock, Jacob Ramsey and Nick Woltemade making up an unfamiliar and intriguing-looking central-midfield three.
But, from start to finish, they showed no indications that they might struggle to contend with so little continuity in team selection. They were the better of the two sides and fully deserved the three points.
They opened the scoring after only 18 minutes with a fine team move that involved 10 of their players and culminated in Tino Livramento slipping Willock through down the middle of the pitch. Bearing down on Robert Sánchez in the Chelsea goal, Willock calmly slowed down, allowing Anthony Gordon to race up alongside him, and then slipped a perfect square ball to his teammate to tap into an empty net.
The goal meant that only João Pedro (11) has more goals in all competitions in 2026 among all players at Premier League clubs than Gordon (nine).
Newcastle would have been rightfully delighted to have an unexpected lead at a ground where they had a terrible record – they came into this one having lost 11 of their last 12 Premier League games at Stamford Bridge – but Gordon’s record after scoring the first goal of a game meant they could take nothing for granted. In four previous games when he’d scored first in an away Premier League game, Gordon had never ended up on the winning side (D3 L1).
The boos that met the half-time whistle might have been a little over the top, but they were nonetheless a decent indication as to how far off their best Chelsea had been.
Rosenior made changes after the break in an attempt to shake his side into gear, and they grew into the game, creating more and better chances, with substitute Liam Delap going close, Alejandro Garnacho lively, and Reece James clipping the post with a free-kick late on.
But they remained unable to find an equaliser, and Newcastle held on to secure only their second ever Premier League win at Stamford Bridge. The three points take them into the top half of the table and to within six points of Chelsea in fifth place. There is no reason for Newcastle to be giving up hope of qualifying for the Champions League once again.
Chelsea will need to put an end to this mini dip as soon as possible. They have failed to win three consecutive Premier League home games (D2 L1) for the first time since a run of five between September and November 2023 (D2 L3).
They need to get back to winning ways if they are to make use of the momentum that Rosenior had built up in his early weeks at the club.
