Chelsea classic

Newcastle 1-2 Chelsea: DeAndre Yedlin's own goal makes it three Premier League wins in a row for Maurizio Sarri after Joselu had equalised following Eden Hazard's strike from the penalty spot.

'The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means,' says Oscar Wilde's Miss Prism. Football, sadly, isn't like fiction. Good teams can be unlucky; rotten, negative, teams can get away with murder. Sunday, however, justice was done.
The player that Newcastle tried to kick off the park scored Chelsea's opener; the player that could have been sent-off for elbowing an opponent put Chelsea's winner through his own net. The team that traveled away and tried to win got three points.
The team that enjoyed less than 20 per cent of the ball playing at home got nothing. Newcastle do not have Chelsea's resources, we know that, but Brighton are a few quid short of Manchester United too, and that did not curb their ambition eight days ago.
