Unofficial Champions of England: Newcastle United 0-1 Chelsea, 04/03/2000


Gus Poyet scores for Chelsea

Newcastle United were riding high after their victory over Manchester United and cemented their place as English Champions with hard fought victories over Sheffield Wednesday and er, Tranmere Rovers.

Game three was a visit from Chelsea. Chelsea were in a similar position to the Magpies of threatening to break into the top echelon but hadn't quite made it (yet).

One goal was all that was needed, Gustavo Poyet heading in from Jody Morris's cross in the 22nd minute. Gianluca Vialli's Blues were English Champions for the 6th time.
