Manager Frank Lampard says Chelsea need to “remain humble” following a solid win over Newcastle. An own goal by Federico Fernandez and a Tammy Abraham strike secured a fifth successive victory in all competitions.
“We know that there is improvement and work to be done. We have to remain humble,” Lampard said, speaking before the Tottenham game.
Fernandez’s own goal set the Blues on their way, the Argentine defender poking the ball over his own line while under pressure from Ben Chilwell.
Chelsea oozed quality, Newcastle keeper Karl Darlow producing excellent saves to deny the excellent Timo Werner as well as a close-range Abraham header.
But Abraham made sure of the points with a smart finish following Werner’s pass after Newcastle had threatened through Isaac Hayden and Joelinton, while Sean Longstaff hit the bar for the hosts towards the end.
