Lampard Happy Chelsea Dealt With Newcastle Challenge

Chelsea beat Newcastle United 2-0 to go top of the Premier League table in an early kick-off on Saturday and head coach Frank Lampard is happy his men saw off a stern competition against the Magpies at the St James’ Park.

The Blues put up a stellar performance to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to seven games thanks to Federico Fernandez’s own goal and Tammy Abraham’s second half strike.

Speaking to the media after the game, Lampard insisted he is happy with the West Londoners’ professionalism away against a difficult side and admits he will not get carried away with Chelsea’s early season form.

"We can’t have it all our own way, but we put the game away with a professional performance,” the English coach said.

"First 20 minutes we were great, we had control and all the possession.

"They came out in the second half and I always felt that the real danger from us would be on the counter.

"You saw that with Timo (Werner) on the break and then setting up Tammy (Abraham's) goal.

"It’s very easy to play the safe pass but we had to keep making the runs and efforts to get in there.

"We played well, the result is key because the Premier League is tough and relentless. I thought the lads dealt with the challenge today and I’m really pleased.

"It’s pleasing, but I’m not going to get excited about being at the top of the table for five mins. It’s a long season."
