Kai Havertz or the gift of timing. The German player was in charge of giving Chelsea the victory, in the 89th minute, in a definition of quality and accuracy to finish off Newcastle.

Chelsea, in their second game after learning of the sanction and while seeing how everyone is taking away their support, managed to win and secure a third position that no one seems to be able to take away from them.

The Blues had to suffer to get rid of a Newcastle that, for the first time in this 2022, left empty-handed. The winter transfer window has been a great opportunity for a team that was condemned to fight for salvation.

Havertz tried the most

It was not until late in the game that Chelsea had their first shot on target, also by Havertz. And if there was one thing missing at Stamford Bridge, it was the goal.

Newcastle United complained about a Malang Sarr penalty on Jacob Murphy but, after a VAR review, the referee decided to continue as if nothing had happened.

Only Havertz's genius turned the match. Jorginho played a great through ball to the German, who tapped it in and, in less than a meter, beat Dúbravka.

This brings Chelsea's total to 59 points and gives them their fifth consecutive Premier League win. It is still 10 points behind Manchester City and 7 points behind Liverpool, who seem not to drop their hands and will fight for the title. On the other hand, Newcastle will remain in 14th position with 31 points.
