- Striker sent off for use of elbow in defeat at Newcastle
- Eddie Howe optimistic for top five after ‘massive win’
Enzo Maresca revealed he will not speak to Nicolas Jackson until some point on Monday after the striker’s sending off at St James’ Park on Sunday left Chelsea’s hopes of Champions League qualification in the balance.
Maresca’s side were trailing 1-0 to Sandro Tonali’s early goal for Newcastle when Jackson elbowed Sven Botman in the head and,after a VAR review, an initial yellow card was upgraded to red.
