On May 11, the 36th round of the Premier League staged a five-game battle. Newcastle faced Chelsea at home. The two teams had 63 points in the first game. Whoever could defeat their opponents would have the lead in the five battles. In the end, Newcastle defeated his opponent 2-0 and got 3 points worth a thousand gold.

Newcastle is definitely determined to win this game. They will play away against Arsenal in the next round. If they cannot defeat Chelsea in this game, Newcastle is likely to collapse in the late season. Fortunately, Newcastle was very successful and eventually they achieved their pre-match goals.

The goal came very early in this game. The home team scored in just 2 minutes of the game. At that time, Newcastle pressed in the frontcourt and then counterattacked quickly. Murphy passed the ball to the front of the goal on the right, and Tonali at the back point scored, and Newcastle led 1-0. After conceding the ball, Chelsea counterattacked for a while, but unfortunately they not only failed to equalize the score, but also sent one person out in the 36th minute. At that time, Jackson elbowed his opponent. At first, the referee only showed a yellow card. However, after the video referee reminded him, the referee went to the sidelines to watch the replay, and finally changed the red card. Chelsea had to play no less than 1 player. In the away game, the score was 10 and 11. It was too difficult for Chelsea to turn the tables.

In the second half, Newcastle continued to attack wildly. Guimaraes scored a world wave in stoppage time, and the ball hit the dead end of the goal, finally locking the score at 2-0. After this game, the situation of Premier League competition for five has changed. In addition to this game, Newcastle ushered in a six-game winning streak at home. It was precisely because of his strong performance at home that Newcastle has surpassed Manchester City and entered the top three in the standings. In this round, Manchester City was tied by Southampton away, which made a big upset, which also gave Newcastle a chance, who had the chance to end the season with the previous three.

For Newcastle, the next round away against Arsenal will determine their fate in the five-game battle. Once he remains unbeaten away and defeats Everton in the last round, Newcastle will most likely be able to lock in the top five and advance to the Champions League next season. If you lose to Arsenal, whether Newcastle can lock in the top five in the end depends on the results of other opponents.

As for Chelsea, after losing to Newcastle in this game, it would be a bit difficult for them to compete for five. In the next round of the game, Chelsea will play against Manchester United and in the last round, they will play against Nottingham Forest. Unless Chelsea wins all two games, they will likely be squeezed out of the top five and eventually miss the Champions League next season. Even if Chelsea wins the European Cup, they will never be able to win a Champions League place!
