Chelsea, who were on the mend before the international break, were beaten back in the Premier League on Saturday (25), losing 1-4 at Newcastle after a series of self-immolations, with captain Les Champion receiving a red card and midfielder Thiago Schwarz giving away a suicide goal.
Chelsea thought they were back on the right track after beating Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City in their last 2 matches, but when they faced Newcastle, they were taken down by Aleksandar Ishak's offside break in the 13th minute, and Chelsea tied the match in the 10th minute after that with a good penalty kick by Staanen.
Newcastle's center back Narcisse was left unmarked in the 60th minute to make it 2-1, but a minute later, Thiago Schwartz lost control of the ball and Zurlenton scored a one-two, and in the 73rd minute, Chelsea's captain, Liz Jimmie, was ejected from the game after a technical foul.
