The Blues continued their pre-season preparations in the United States against one of the top-flight’s biggest new threats in the Premier League Summer Series. Mauricio Pochettino kicked off his spell in charge with entertaining wins over Wrexham and Brighton across the Atlantic, but he had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Newcastle.
Nicolas Jackson impressed in attack once again, scoring for the second game running as he looks a serious threat with less than two weeks to go until the new league season begins against Liverpool.
No goals in the second half as Atlanta hero Miguel Almiron’s well-taken effort on the stroke of half-time earns Newcastle a draw following a second goal in as many games early on from new Chelsea signing Nicolas Jackson.
Plenty there for both managers to be happy with and plenty to work on with the new Premier League season approaching fast on the horizon.
Chelsea move on to face west London rivals Fulham in Landover on Sunday evening, while Newcastle play Brighton on Saturday night in New Jersey.
Both in the Premier League Summer Series.
