Chelsea continued their up-and-down season, registering their fifth win of the season against Newcastle United by 2-1.
Chelsea got a fine start, with Nicolas Jackson getting the first goal in the 18th minute as a brilliant pass from Cole Palmer reached Jackson, who wasted no time in giving The Blues a lead.
The visitors levelled the scores in the 32nd minute, as Alexander Isak delivered a breakthrough strike which meant that the Magpies scored for the first time in three league games. At the half-time, score was 1-1.
In the 47th minute, Palmer beat Nick Pope at his near post, registering his 17th Premier League goal at Stamford Bridge this year.

Manchester United's poor season continued as they slid down to 14th spot after a 1-2 loss to West Ham United at The London Stadium.
After Crysencio Summerville secured the lead for his side in the 74th minute, it seemed Casemiro had got his side one point at least with his strike in the 81st minute. However in the final moments, referee David Coote was sent to pitchside after a collision between Matthijs de Ligt and Danny Ings. The replays showed the United defender clipping the ball with his thigh before catching the Iggs on the lower leg. After a long review, it was decided that West Ham would get a penalty and Jarrod Bowen converted it.
Man United has 11 points this season after three wins, two draws and four losses, while West Ham is one spot above with the same statistics.
