Chelsea and Newcastle climb to Europa spots after convincing wins

Graham Potter is settling in. Former Brighton manager was appointed new Chelsea boss a month ago and after four games into his new role, he is yet to taste defeat. The Blues have only one draw (Salzburg in the Champions League) and three wins, including one today against Wolverhampton – 3:0. With this win, Chelsea are into the top 4, along with Newcastle United, who won 5-1 at St. James Park against Brentford and went to the Europa League spot.6 – Since making his Premier League debut in February, Bruno Guimarães has scored more Premier League goals than any other Newcastle player (6).

During those four games in charge, Potter’s Chelsea received only two goals. To be fair, today they faced terrible Wolverhampton, with an interim manager and only one win in the Premier League so far, but a win is a win.Christian Pulisic started in this game and repaid the trust with a goal while Conor Gallagher has been at the heart of all of Chelsea’s attacking play this afternoon. Havertz got the first goal of the match, but in reality, Chelsea could have scored at least three more by the end of the first half. Potter even had the chance to make a few changes and rest some players, which was an opportunity for Broja to score in the 90th minute for the final score. The only player worth mentioning for the quests was Adama Traore, who caused many problems to Cucurella on the right side, while veteran Diego Costa left after nearly an hour with no real effect.Newcastle United are on a roll too. The Magpies still have only one defeat in the league so far (the infamous 2-1 defeat against Liverpool in the 97th minute) and today they made their second win in a row with even the bigger result than last week against Fulham – 5:1. It started badly since the visitors took an early lead only to be nullified by VAR and from that moment, it was all about Newcastle and Bruno Guimaraes. The Brazilian scored a brace and was the driving force for the home team. Jacob Murphy and Miguel Almiron where the other scorers while Pinnock scored an own goal with a clumsy challenge in injury time. A good win for the Magpies ahead of a tough match at the Old Trafford against Manchester United.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 10SaturdayBournemouth – Leicester 2-1 (0-1)/Billing 68, Christie 71 – Daka 10/Chelsea – Wolves 3-0 (1-0)/Havertz 45+3, Pulisic 54, Broja 90/Manchester City – Southampton 4-0 (2-0)/Cancelo 20, Foden 32, Mahrez 49, Haaland 65/Newcastle United – Brentford 5-1 (2-0)/Guimaraes 21, 56, Murphy 28, Almiron 82, Pinnock 90 og – Toney 54 og/19.30: (2.90) Brighton (3.25) Tottenham (2.70)Sunday16.00: (2.24) Crystal Palace (3.40) Leeds (3.60)16.00: (1.84) West Ham (3.70) Fulham (5.00)18.30: (2.70) Arsenal (3.40) Liverpool (2.80)21.00: (3.60) Everton (3.50) Man.Utd.
