Newcastle start improving their game gradually and level things before the break. Newcastle win a corner and Ritchie takes it, with Ciaran Clark meeting it and sending a powerful header into the bottom corner.
They start the second half level and Pedro almost puts his side ahead again just 2 minutes in. Willian giving him a nice pass but Pedro's low shot was spectacularly denied by the keeper.
The game is more open in the second half and Chelsea finally get their second goal in the 57th minute. Willian cutting past Yedlin and into the box, then finishing with a spectacular curled shot off the far post.
With Chelsea's dominance for most of the remaining of the game, Newcastle fail to find a way back into the game. Chelsea closing the game with a 2-1 victory.
The victory puts Chelsea 5 points clear of fifth placed Arsenal, giving them a good position in the top four. Chelsea also now sit just a point below third placed Tottenham Hotspur.
