CHELSEA survived a late bombardment to return to winning ways against Newcastle.
Cole Palmer went from architect to matchwinner with Nicolas Jackson also scoring his sixth Prem goal of the season.
Palmer thought he had given his side the lead minutes into the contest when he latched onto the end of Jackson’s pass to find the bottom corner – only for VAR to rule him offside.
The England star then turned creator moments later as his brilliant through ball sparked a counterattack, with Pedro Neto crossing for Jackson to score.
Newcastle bounced back and Alexander Isak finished off a well-worked move, converting a cross from ex-Chelsea star Lewis Hall.
That was the story of the first half and Chelsea came out from the break on fire – Palmer firing beyond Nick Pope after being given acres of space to run into.

Again Newcastle fought back and should have had an equaliser after Isak rounded Robert Sanchez after punishing a mistake by Wesley Fofana, but the striker dallied on the ball and was somehow unable to score.
