DBasia.news –  A goal from Marcos Alonso was enough for Chelsea to pick three points through a 1-0 final result against Newcastle United in Week nine of the Premier League, Saturday (10/19) PM. This victory has kept the team’s momentum.

Chelsea as the host has made the change by playing Ross Barkley replacing N’Golo Kante who was injured. In addition manager Frank Lampard also continued to play Callum Hudson-Odoi on the wing.

Whereas Newcastle played the same squad when they defeated Manchester United. Steve Bruce re-paired the Longstaff brothers in midfield.

Chelsea appeared strikingly from the start. While Newcastle United were seen piling up players in the back line with a 5-4-1 formation.

The density of players in the Newcastle United defense has forced Chelsea to rely on crosses. Chelsea’s first chance was obtained only 16 minutes through a header from Willian Borges to welcome Callum Hudson-Odoi’s cross from the left side, but the resulting header was wide.

Three minutes later it was Mason Mount’s turn to get a chance in the penalty box. This time the ball was still able to be stopped goalkeeper, Martin Dubravka. In the 25th minute, it was Joelinton’s turn to threaten Kepa Arrizabalaga’s goal by his header. But the ball still hasn’t met the target.

Chelsea still struggled to penetrate Newcastle’s defense until the last five minutes of the first half. Marcos Alonso’s ball in the 42nd minute still led to goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. The 0-0 score lasted until the interval.

Entering the second half, Chelsea continued to exert pressure after pressure in the opponent’s area. In the 56th minute, the host obtained a golden opportunity. Tammy Abraham was able to win the air duel to continue Willian’s corner kick. Unfortunately the ball had hit Newcstle’s crossbar.

Chelsea was finally able to break down Newcastle United’s goal when the game ran for 73 minutes. Receiving Hudson-Odoi’s pass, Marcos Alonso let off a hard horizontal shot. The ball flowed freely without being able to be dammed by theNewcastle goalkeeper.

Winning one goal triggers Chelsea to continue to attack. Unfortunately opportunities like those obtained by Abraham in the 80th minute has failed to achieve results even though the opponent’s goal was empty. On the 89th minute it was Newcastle’s turn to get the chance. But Clark’s ball was only thin above the Chelsea goal.

Until the fight ended, the score 1-0 lasted for the host Chelsea. This is the fifth successive victory achieved by Chelsea in all competitions.
