Chelsea’s impressive revival under Enzo Maresca gathered pace as Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer scored to earn a 2-1 victory over Newcastle at Stamford Bridge.
Palmer’s winner in the second half, driven in masterfully from the edge of the box, was his 19th goal in 15 home Premier League appearances and was worthy reward for a controlled, confident display from a side that continued to convince as top-four contenders.
Alexander Isak had earlier tapped in to level for Eddie Howe’s visitors after Jackson gave Chelsea the lead.
