EPL: Newcastle coach, Howe names two Chelsea stars who caused his team problems
Newcastle United Manager, Eddie Howe has admitted that Chelsea duo, Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson caused his team problems on Sunday.
Howe watched as Chelsea defeated Newcastle 2-1 in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.
Two goals from Jackson and Palmer gave the Blues the victory over Newcastle as Alexander Isak did score a goal for Howe’s men.
Asked if Newcastle found it difficult in the opening stages of the match, Howe said at his post-match interview: “Yeah, it was.
“I think Palmer’s got that ability, whatever space he has, to be able to wriggle out of tight situations.
“Of course, if he has too much space he will kill you the other way. So we didn’t deal with him particularly well in that opening period of the game.
“Jackson as well gave us problems but I thought we began to get a grip the longer the game went on.”
