Chelsea lost to Newcastle United 4-1, and manager Mauricio Pochettino accepted responsibility for starting a player he felt wasn’t appropriate.
After Isak opened the scorelines, Raheem Sterling’s free kick helped the Blues get the game back on level terms.
Chelsea suffered a humiliating loss as the host scored three more goals.
The Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, stated in his post-match remarks that Ugochukwu wasn’t ready to start in the midfield since he still didn’t comprehend the play pattern.
We made a costly error tonight, and I’m to blame. I should not have started Ugochukwu in the midfield; substituting him would have altered the game’s speed.
“We now need to take a step back, review our errors, draw lessons, and improve for the next game.
“We’ve got to have played the worst so far this season,”
