Havertz Grabs Late Winner
Chelsea left it late against a very resolute Newcastle side. After a flat first-half performance, Mateo Kovacic came on later in the match to add pace and urgency to Chelsea`s midfield, and that increased the pressure on Newcastle.
Match Report
The German produced a sublime touch and finish from Jorginho’s cross to deliver the three points for the Blues on what was a frustrating afternoon for the home side. Newcastle will feel mightily aggrieved as Havertz could have seen red for an elbow on Dan Burn in the first half, while Jacob Murphy should have been awarded a penalty after he was brought down in the box by Trevoh Chalobah.
The decisions went the way of the Blues and it turned out to be a vital factor in the outcome of the contest. @FOTMOB
