Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the game in the 89th minute at Stamford Bridge
Havertz has now scored four Premier League goals in his last three outings in the top-flight
But he was lucky to even be on the pitch after escaping a red card for an elbow on Dan Burn.
Havertz was shown just a yellow card after smashing into Burn’s head, with VAR deeming it as not worthy of a red.
The result is harsh on Newcastle who had a number of chances and were denied a penalty in the second half after Jacob Murphy went down in the box.
It is now five Premier League wins in a row for Chelsea who have solidified third spot in the table.
