Reece James double Chelsea beats Newcastle 3-0, Extends the premier league Top of the Table, standings.
A clinical second-half display from league leaders Chelsea saw them claim a comprehensive 3-0 win over winless Newcastle United at St James' Park on Saturday.
Two goals from Reece James and a penalty from Jorginho - all in 16 blistering second-half minutes - killed off the home side.
Callum Hudson-Odoi wriggled into space on the left wing and floated a cross to the back post. Matt Ritchie thought he had done enough to repel the danger, but James took the ball down, nudged it to his left and then hammered a half volley into the top corner.
The second was almost identical. After lovely work from substitute Ross Barkley in the middle of the park, he played the ball out to Reece James. His first shot was blocked but the ball bounced back to him and the finish with his right was sublime.
Newcastle had started brightly with a surging run down the left from Ryan Fraser, but he dragged his shot just wide.
This is Newcastle’s joint longest winless run since the start of a Premier League season, 10 games without a win.N’Golo Kante has played 200 league games, claiming a couple of titles for his efforts.
