EDEN HAZARD was the star of the show as Chelsea came from behind to win their fifth Premier League game in six.
Dwight Gayle’s 12th-minute opener only served to wake up the Blues.
Eden Hazard levelled with a shot hit off the ground in the 21st-minute before Alvaro Morata headed his tenth goal of the season 12 minutes later.
Hazard added a third from the spot with 16 minutes left before being substituted to a standing ovation.
Newcastle certainly did not come to Stamford Bridge to park the bus, going toe-to-toe with the Premier League champions.
And they moved into a shock lead. Gayle won a header and Jacob Murphy caused panic in the Chelsea defence with the ball running loose off Marcos Alonso.
Thibaut Courtois dived at Murphy’s feet but the ball run loose to Dwight Gayle, who swept home.
The Blues poured forward in search of an instant equaliser.
Andreas Christensen headed over a Cesc Fabregas corner – and then Hazard was set clear by a Fabregas through ball but Karl Darlow raced out to block. Eden Hazard levelled with a shot hit off the ground in the 21st-minute before Alvaro Morata headed his tenth goal of the season 12 minutes later.
