Chelsea 2-1 Newcastle: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Premier League 2018-19 

#3 Ciaran Clark and Willian score, Chelsea take the lead

What a header from Ciaran Clark!

With their well-drilled defensive configuration and a couple of ventures forward, it always looked like Newcastle were in the game. They spurned a golden opportunity in the 37th minute, when Ayoze Perez had the entire goal to aim at.

Kepa had come rushing in and for a second, looked like he was in no man's land. However, Perez went for power instead of precision and squandered a rare opportunity.

Three minutes later, Matt Ritchie's stellar left foot produced a peach of a cross from a corner, which was met by Clark. The central defender leaped above everyone and placed his effort to perfection to level terms.

Moments after their celebrations, Jorginho found Willian eyeball-to-eyeball with the Newcastle shot-stopper, but the Brazilian scuffed his shot wide of goal.

However, Willian scored a beauty after the break, when Eden Hazard, who had a relatively quiet expedition, tore the heart of defence and fed Willian on the left. The 30-year-old took a touch, cut inside and curled an exquisite shot to the back of the net.
