Former referees' chief blasts David Coote for two mistakes in Chelsea's win over Newcastle

Former Premier League official Keith Hackett says Newcastle were let down by 'two incompetent officials' during their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.

Kai Havertz scored an 89th minute winner for Thomas Tuchel's side, though Newcastle felt aggrieved that two key decisions went against them on Sunday.

In the first-half, goalscorer Havertz was fortunate to only get a yellow following an elbow on Magpies defender Dan Burn.
