Chelsea Top of Premier League Temporarily With Comfortable Win at Newcastle

Chelsea moved top of the Premier League – for a few hours at least – after a goal in each half secured a 2-0 victory for the London club against Newcastle on Saturday.

Federico Fernandez’s early own goal gave Frank Lampard’s side the lead at St. James’ Park before Timo Werner’s stunning assist set up Tammy Abraham to seal the points midway through the second half.

Newcastle hit the bar through Sean Longstaff after Abraham’s strike but were well off the pace throughout as they slipped to back-to-back defeats for the first time this season.

Chelsea’s fifth consecutive victory extends their unbeaten run in all competitions to 12 games and lifts them above Leicester into top spot on goal difference ahead of the rest of the weekend’s fixtures. Newcastle remain 13th.
