Chelsea trailed 2-1 after Callum Hudson-Odoi’s goal in the 74th minute but two quick goals from substitutes Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson gave Chelsea the win.

Chelsea rank seventh tied on 57 points with Newcastle with two games remaining for the two teams battling for the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.
