Eddie Howe has issued a message to Newcastle United fans after the Magpies slipped to their third Premier League defeat of the season at Stamford Bridge.

On whether Newcastle deserved something: "I felt we did for the character shown in coming back. I thought there were a lot of positive things, a lot of very good football. I felt as though we were chasing the game, we were moments away from scoring at any moment."

Eddie Howe admits Newcastle United struggled to cope with Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson in Chelsea’s 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Chelsea made a strong start to the game and thought they had taken the lead in the first half though Palmer before his effort was rule out for offside following a call from VAR.
