FROM STAMFORD BRIDGE - Chelsea returned to winning ways with a 3-2 victory at home to Newcastle United on Monday night. The Blues moved to within a point of the Premier League 's top half again by picking up all three at Stamford Bridge to close out Game week 28. Eddie Howe's side didn't make enough of the periods either side of half time when their hosts looked at sea and weren't able to bring the game back to within one goal until the final minutes. How the game unfolded Chelsea took the lead with only six minutes on the clock. Sven Botman's clearance fell straight to Cole Palmer on the edge of the box, and his rather tame effort was deftly flicked on by Nicolas Jackson and beyond a confounded Martin Dubravka. Newcastle's first real opportunity came just after the half-hour mark when Chelsea failed to deal with a long free-kick into the box, and Marc Cucurella had to get his body behind Anthony Gordon's drive. The visitors went closer to an equaliser when ...

Jadon Sancho has no desire to return to Manchester United as he blames manager Erik ten Hag for letting his career stall, a report has claimed. After being left out of the matchday squad for United's fourth Premier League Game of the season, Sancho publicly rejected Ten Hag's suggestions that he was dropped for his lack of effort in training, sparking a four-month exile which ultimately led to a loan return to Dortmund in the January transfer window. Sancho's loan deal does not include a permanent transfer clause and he is therefore expected back at United in the summer, but according to BILD , the 23-year-old has already made it clear he has no desire to return to Old Trafford. The report claims Sancho blames Ten Hag for letting his career stagnate on the sidelines and has no desire to work under the Dutchman again. Whether he would consider a comeback under a new manager is unclear but the belief is that Sancho's current focus is on continuing with Dortmund. 90mi...
