Jackson scored from just outside the area in the 27th minute to secure back-to-back victories for Chelsea, which moved above Newcastle and Nottingham Forest into fourth place and one point behind third-place Manchester City. Newcastle United Manager Eddie Howe Returns to Duty Following Hospitalisation.
