A tree stump could've scored off that cross

lukaku wouldve missed that...
Normal service is resumed.
Newcastle should go back down to the Championship where they belong.
He couldn’t miss from there yet the commentator called it a really smart finish.
Was watching the Barcelona Vs Celta game before tuning to the Chelsea game and dip in quality is so apparent. So much totally unnecessary and unforced back passes to the keeper who then hoofs it out. No form of passing through the middle, just wingplay and cross
Brilliant defending from Newcastle.
Easy. Newcastle are shit.
Can't be bothered. Newcastle are gash.
That was a clear foul from Morata that commentators chose to ignore.
Witty.
Watching skiing instead.
Head a shit cross straight back to the Chelsea player, let the cross come in the second time and then two defenders completely leave it for Morata to score.
Isn't the FSW supposed to be a good defensive coach?

It was an easy finish, but he made sure he got on the end of it.
Should've signed Morata instead of Lukaku. 
We keep signings the wrong players!

Norwegian commentator went like "hmm, that miiiight've been a foul, but Conte is mighty happy with being in the lead" that was all. Looked like two straight arms in the back of the defender to me..
No push for that goal?
Well, we came back and won 4-1 in our last meeting against Newcastle
Chelsea will do about the same too
Chelsea will do about the same too
Morata is quite good with his head.
Two hands on the back. Should be.
Looked like a foul by Morata before he scored...
If that was Fellaini rather than Morata, I guarantee he would've been penalised and the goal disallowed.
2-1 Morata
At least we now know that Morata is more than capable of replacing Costa. #ProgressShould've signed Morata instead of Lukaku.

Lukaku would've done great at Chelsea with the service they're providing.
Costa used to do it all the time. You have to look after yourself sometimes and the defender was soft there.
What a defending!
You wonder if Morata was too nice at the start and he has been told to be more like Costa. Costa used to fall over all the time and could certainly put himself about.
When you watch games like this, you realize how important having solid defence really is. Sorry for stating the obvious here. Newcastle goal was soft. Chelsea’s second was very soft. As soon as Newcastle scored, they sat back and actually lost their shape for some odd reason. “Parking the bus” isn’t just having 10 players under siege. Winning 1-0 is really not to be underestimated IMO.
Newcastle are the worst side I've seen this year. They need to shore it up at the back or they'll be relegated by April
What happens when you think you can just get promoted to the PL and play with essentially the same squad. It is a Championship squad playing in the PL, it would never work.
I'm not sure how Celta compare to Newcastle but their composure on the ball in the face of Barcelona's pressing is so impressive.
Precisely, they will say it is loyalty to those players, when essentially it is the owner not wanting to shell out much money.
Lascelles getting injured has really fecked them over.
At least West Ham are worse.
Kante again stops a good attack by fouling and doesn't get booked. I swear this guynis immune to yellow cards.
Is Ritchie the same one that Van Gaal wanted? He is such a nothing player. I can't ever tell what he's supposed to be good at.
Newcastle could be the worst among the promoted teams this season
Huddersfield are a bit shit as well. I mean, they had good games against the Manchester clubs but they generate the same amount of good chances against basically any other opponent, too.
2-1 Chelsea at HT.
