Official Chelsea star wins man of the match award following his brilliant performance

 Chelsea celebrate a big win, holding on to defeat Newcastle United 3-2 and move within a point of their opponents and the top half.

The trend of entertaining Newcastle scorelines continues, but this is not a game they will reflect on fondly as only a late flurry caused the Blues some nerves.

Jackson's opener was cancelled out by Isak, yet a sloppy Newcastle spell in the second half allowed Palmer to restore the home side's lead.

Mudryk added a third on the counter, meaning Murphy's brilliant late strike proved only a consolation. Attention for both teams now turns to the FA Cup, with Chelsea at home to Leicester City as Newcastle go to Manchester City.
