#3 Lucky Chelsea

Newcastle United v Chelsea FC - Premier League
Hazard opened the scoring from a controversial penalty

Sometimes you need not only perform, but also need lady luck on your side. That is all Chelsea had on Sunday against Newcastle. Despite having 82 percent of the position, they were struggling to find a breakthrough.

Then came the moment of controversy, in the 76th minute, Fabian Schar brings down Marcus Alonso in the box, and penalty was the verdict. The replay shows that it in fact, was a great tackle from Schar.

Hazard converted from the spot-kick. A few minutes later, Yedlin's cross found Joselu who made no mistakes. In the 87th minute, Yedlin was once again in the spotlight, this time for the wrong reason. In an attempt to clear the ball, he accidentally guided Alonso’s shot to his own goal.
