Stinging from a 5-2 Champions League defeat at Paris St. Germain, Liam Rosenior’s side showed more defensive frailties when Joe Willock easily beat the offside trap and squared for Gordon to finish in the 18th minute.
After the home fans booed their team off at the break, Chelsea upped the intensity in the second half but their chances were largely smothered by Newcastle’s organized back line.
The closest the hosts came to scoring was in the 93rd minute when captain Reece James hit the post from a free kick.
