0-1 Hazard scores a pen. Constant pressure pays off with a dodgy pen......

Aye soft pen but Newcastle have been taking out Chelsea players all game, so they ran the risk

Benitez has done well to mute Chelsea's attack though. They've handled Hazard well. Makes you wonder if there's still call for 'academic' type managers like Rafa who prioritise tactics. Might those types come back and kill this era of attacking football.

Newcastle steal a goal back...... 1-1 Giroud got an awful elbow in the face from the player who crossed for the goal and the Ref and Linesman missed it....

I don't think so, for me attacking football keeps teams under pressure and limits their chances of getting their game together. If this was us playing Newcastle we'd have dropped off and given them more of the ball and invited them on. At least Newcastle's goal today was a bit of a freak and Chelsea continue the pressure and pull it back. We'd be losing or drawing and holding on by now.

Chelsea haven't been on great form today but they've kept at it. On another day they'd be walking this.

The Ref has been poor today, gave the dodgy pen, missed the elbow and various other tackles...... missed that should have been a corner just now....

True tbf. Modern attacking football is built on the intense high press which creates a lot more chances and thus gives you a lot more chances to win, whilst being defensively solid.

Anyways another good win for Chelsea. 8 goals in 3 games for them.

The result would have been different if the Prem had VAR
