Four Blues who shined against Newcastle, player ratings


Eden Hazard commanded the game as the Blues beat Newcastle 3-1 at Stamford Bridge – but who else impressed?

Eden Hazard – 9

He was everywhere today. It's hard to find words for such an impressive display, as the Belgian was simply magical. Only reason he’s not rewarded with a 10/10 is the fact that he could've scored at least one more. Nevertheless, he was deservedly named as today's man of the match.

Victor Moses – 9

Might still be lacking some match sharpness following his major injury, but really reminded us of who we've been missing in our recent games. The Nigerian wing-back made some brilliant runs forward and earns all the credit for his sweet cross for Morata's 2-1 goal. Earned a penalty as well which Hazard beautifully chipped in for Chelsea's third. Very strong comeback performance!

Alvaro Morata – 8

Strong game from the Spaniard, who really loves scoring at the Bridge – especially with his head! Had many challenges ruled against him by the ref, but whenever he was able to stand up and play, the Newcastle defence was shaking before him. 10 goals to his name now this term!

Cesc Fabregas – 8

Was once again connecting brilliantly with Hazard and Morata, as his long balls over the top caused constant havoc to the Newcastle defence. Unlucky not the get an assist for his through ball for Hazard, who had his effort saved by the keeper. Got two-footed by the ref – fortunately he escaped the challenge without an injury.

Praise Fabregas and hope for the best, 4 talking points


Eden Hazard - England threat

The buzzing Belgian was at the centre of all of the best of Chelsea's play. His ability to find space and then attack at pace with the ball at his feet can trouble any defence and Rafa Benitez's side were no powerless to stop him. Now imagine what he will do with Kevin De Bruyne alongside him on the biggest stage – and Romelu Lukaku rampaging up front. England will want their passage to the knockout stages secured facing these Belgians.

Rafa Benitez will never be loved at Stamford Bridge

The Spaniard inspires unquestioning devotion from most Liverpool and now Newcastle fans. But Benitez failed to bond with the Chelsea fans despite finishing third and winning the Europa League during his stint in charge in 2012-13. His name was booed before kickoff. And his frustrated kick of the ball soon after Chelsea's second was met with chants of “You fat bastard”.

Chelsea just have to keep winning and hoping

Seven games unbeaten in the Premier League now as the Blues close the gap on Manchester City to eight points before the leaders play again tomorrow. If Pep Guardiola’s team keep up their ridiculous form, there will be little the champions or anyone else can do. But there is the Manchester derby next weekend while Chelsea have a run of three more very winnable home games - Southampton, Brighton and Stoke before New Year.

Fabregas is Chelsea’s beating heart

Fabregas delivered a ball that few players in football worldwide can produce, chipping it over the Newcastle defence with an inch-perfect pass to Hazard that the Belgian just failed to tuck away. He also sprayed balls across to Moses and Marcos Alonso at will, giving Chelsea the width required to free Hazard and Morata. Given that he looked to be the expendable midfielder that would drop out of the side to accommodate Tiemoue Bakayoko, Fabregas’ resurgence this season has been nothing short of fantastic.

Baada ya mechi hii nimeamua kutoka Chelsea na kuhamia Man U kuunga mkono juhudi za Mourinho kuutafuta Ubingwa, maana kila anachofanya Mourinho ni yale yale tuliyokuwa tunayapigania huku Chelsea kwa miaka mingi, hivyo hakuna haja ya kuendelea kupingana na Man U. Narudi Nyumbani
