LONDON (Interstat) — Anthony Gordon’s first-half goal propelled Newcastle United to a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in a Premier League match Saturday at Stamford Bridge.

The visitors defied pregame projections from Interstat, which had favored Chelsea, by securing the win through Gordon’s 18th-minute finish. Chelsea’s attack was stifled throughout, failing to equalize despite controlling possession.

The result marked a successful start to Newcastle’s league campaign, while Chelsea begins its season with a home defeat. The match featured four yellow cards, including two for Chelsea in quick succession shortly after the goal.
