VIDEO Chelsea 0-2 Newcastle: Goals, Highlights from Wednesday's Premier League Match
Newcastle United won its first match at Stamford Bridge since 1986 behind Papiss Cisse's two goals in a 2-0 victory over Chelsea on Wednesday.
Cisse hit the game-winning goal in the 19th minute, but it was the 26-year-old's late game finisher that has everyone buzzing. The Senegalese striker hit an incredible bending strike from 30 yards out in the 90th minute to stun the Chelsea faithful.
Chelsea had a few good opportunities to score throughout the match and put three shots on goal, but were unable to capitalize.
The loss is a serious blow to Chelsea's chances of finishing in the top four of the English Premier League. It falls to four points behind Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle with two games remaining in the season. The club will likely have to win the Champions League in order to qualify for the competition next season.
Chelsea will get that opportunity when it takes on Bayern Munich in the Champions League Final on May 19.
The win was important in Newcastle's quest to finish in the top four, though the club was dealt a blow when midfielder Cheick Tiote suffered a serious head injury in the 68th minute. Tiote took an elbow to the face and was carried off on a stretcher with an oxygen mask over his face.
