Chelsea battled through a hit-and-miss display
to see off Newcastle 2-0 and stay top of the Premier League on Saturday
afternoon.
Oscar tapped home as the hosts took a quick corner to
catch out the visitors, before Diego Costa fired home early near the
hour mark to double the lead.
Both sides made a host of changes. Petr Cech and Kurt Zouma kept
their places for Chelsea, but John Terry returned to make his 648th
appearance and move equal with Frank Lampard on the all-time list for
the Blues.
It was a nervy opening period from the hosts,
who were wary of the need for a good result after going two without a
win in the Premier League.
Newcastle almost took advantage
of Chelsea's nerves when Yoan Gouffran tested Cech with a rasping free
kick which the goalkeeper managed to parry away.
But Chelsea slowly improved throughout the game to do enough to take
victory and pick up their first Premier League win in three. ...SkySports
