Telegraph:
Chelsea 3 Newcastle 1: Eden Hazard will give Gareth Southgate sleepless nights as he runs riot at Stamford Bridge
Matt Law
Gareth Southgate may be well advised to stay away from Stamford Bridge for the rest of the season if he wants a good night’s sleep between now and June 28.
The World Cup draw was kind to the England manager, but trying to plot a way to stop Eden Hazard before England face Belgium in what could be a Group G decider in Russia will give Southgate nightmares.
Having been given a rest in midweek, Hazard took Newcastle United apart and made it eight goals in 10 games to help Chelsea to their sixth victory in seven Premier League outings.
After missing the start of the season while he recovered from a broken ankle, Hazard has now been directly involved in a goal every 83 minutes and is back to his unstoppable best.
While those around him are feeling the effects of a busy fixture list, Hazard is fresh and firing thanks to his summer break. There is little danger of burnout ahead of Russia, although he may travel to the World Cup with a few bruises.
Antonio Conte, the Chelsea manager, even joked that England’s best hope may be that Gary Cahill gives Hazard some rough treatment.
“I have to speak with Gary to tell him to … to give the kicks to Eden, yeah,” he said with a broad smile. “Gary knows very well Hazard’s skill and for this reason he must pay great attention.”
Hazard was also in the mood for a laugh as he was asked about the prospect of facing England. “For Belgium, it’s easy against England! No, I am joking. It will be a tough game. All the teams deserve to be at the World Cup and England were top of their group, so we will see what happens.”
Ciaran Clark was booked for kicking Hazard, but not even that was enough to stop him terrorising the Newcastle defence and ruining Rafael Benitez’s first return to Stamford Bridge since his unpopular seven-month stint as interim manager in 2012.
Despite not being wanted by the Chelsea fans, Benitez guided Chelsea to the Europa League and third place in the Premier League. But he was never forgiven for his association with Liverpool and the Chelsea supporters reminded Benitez of their dislike of him by booing the Spaniard’s name and chanting ‘you fat -------’.
For the first 15 minutes, it seemed as though Benitez might just get the last laugh as Chelsea started sloppily and Newcastle took advantage.
Having already seen Mikel Merino shoot straight at Thibaut Courtois, the visitors earned a shock early lead after taking advantage of some woeful Chelsea defending.
Marcos Alonso put Courtois in trouble by trying to toe the ball back to him after it had deflected off Dwight Gayle. The Belgian saved at the feet of Jacob Murphy, but Gayle was there to dispatch the rebound into the net.
It was Gayle who had given Newcastle an early lead at Manchester United a couple of weeks earlier, only to see Jose Mourinho’s men hit four against them. Newcastle failed to defend their lead once again, as Chelsea were level eight minutes later through Hazard.
Goalkeeper Karl Darlow had already denied Hazard once, survived a loud penalty appeal for a challenge on Alvaro Morata and seen Andreas Christensen head against a post before he was finally beaten by Chelsea’s brilliant Belgian.
Cesar Azpilicueta’s ball into the box was intended for Morata. Florian Lejeune got there first, but could only clear as far as Hazard, who controlled his shot superbly to beat Darlow.
From that moment on it was only a matter of how many Chelsea would score and they took the lead in the 33rd minute, as Morata netted his ninth Premier League goal of the season with a header from a Victor Moses cross.
On another day, Hazard might have finished the game with a hat-trick. He had a 56th-minute shot deflected just wide of a post and almost wriggled his way around Clark, Lejeune and Chancel Mbemba, but overran the ball through to Darlow.
Making only his second Premier League start, Danny Drinkwater looked at home in the Chelsea midfield and he almost played Hazard through after exchanging passes with the 26-year-old.
Drinkwater was criticised for turning down a late call-up to Southgate’s last England squad as he recovered from injury, but Conte still believes the midfielder can clinch a World Cup spot.
“It’s normal to have the right chance [to play for England] because Danny is starting to play with Chelsea, with a great team,” said Conte. “He started slowly like the team today, but then he improved a lot. It’s great for me and the team to have another option, especially when we play with the three midfielders. It’s of vital importance.”
There was no denying Hazard a second goal with 16 minutes remaining, as he displayed the coolest of heads from the spot. Makeshift left wing-back Matt Ritchie upended Moses and Hazard chipped a Panenka penalty into the net as Darlow dived early. There was still time for Darlow to save smartly again from Hazard, before the latter went off to a standing ovation. The hard work starts now for Southgate.
Chelsea (3-5-2): Courtois 6; Azpilicueta 7, Christensen 7 (Cahill, 80), Rudiger 6; Moses 7, Fabregas 8 (Bakayoko, 78), Kante 8, Drinkwater 7, Alonso 6; Hazard 9 (Willian, 78), Morata 7. Subs Caballero, Pedro, Zappacosta, Batshuayi.

Observer:
Chelsea’s Eden Hazard puts paid to Newcastle hopes of a shock
Chelsea 3 - 1 Newcastle
Jacob Steinberg at Stamford Bridge
The only problem for Antonio Conte after seeing the irrepressible Eden Hazard provide the latest demonstration of his outstanding ability to win a game with almost no help at all was the knowledge that the Belgian’s brilliance still might not be enough for the champions to retain their title. Not with Manchester City setting new standards at the top of the Premier League. Chelsea played with controlled aggression to stamp out Newcastle United’s attempts at insurrection here, but Conte struck a slightly defeatist tone, lamenting how the team peering down at the rest of the league is doing “extraordinary things” and wondering when that will cease to be the case.
Unless that happens, Chelsea can forget about the Premier League trophy staying in west London. They did cut City’s lead to eight points, fighting back from a goal down to ruin Rafael Benítez’s return to one of his old clubs, but there seems little prospect of Pep Guardiola’s freewheeling side slipping up when they host West Ham United on Sunday , and such levels of excellence can be draining for those in pursuit of them.
In that context, however, it was still a pleasing afternoon for Conte. “A good performance overall,” he said. “I am very happy for this. It is not simple to go 1-0 down and have the right will and desire.”
For Conte, who is likely to be punished by the Football Association for being sent from the touchline in last Wednesday’s tight 1-0 win over Swansea City, it was a chance to stand back and appreciate Hazard’s special talent and, despite falling behind to Dwight Gayle’s early goal, Chelsea were never in any meaningful danger of losing.
Hazard scored twice, either side of Álvaro Morata’s 10th goal of the season in all competitions, and the home fans could revel in mocking Benítez long before the final whistle.
There was a bit of snarl in the air. Benítez has plenty of history with Chelsea, from those infamous Champions League semi-finals against his Liverpool team to that interim spell here four years ago, and the diehards in the Matthew Harding Stand greeted him with a loud chorus of boos.
However, the bigger concern for the Spaniard was his team extending their winless run to six matches. “Every game is so difficult,” he said, disappointed at Newcastle’s failure to build on Gayle’s opener in the 12th minute.
The visitors made an ambitious start and the indecision in the Chelsea defence that led to Gayle stroking the ball into an unguarded net could be attributed to Newcastle’s initial exuberance.
The striker started the move by flicking on a long punt and Conte must have been alarmed by his side’s failure to react, with N’Golo Kanté too meek in his attempt to mop up and Marcos Alonso making everything worse with an ill-advised backpass. Thibaut Courtois charged out to deny Jacob Murphy but the goalkeeper’s intervention presented Gayle with an easy chance.
Gayle had put Newcastle in a similarly commanding position at Old Trafford two weeks ago, only for Manchester United to respond with four unanswered goals, and the hosts made sure that his enterprise went to waste again.
“We can change our system,” Conte said. “We can play Hazard as a second striker. We can play him as a No10 when we play 3-4-3. Today, Eden and Álvaro showed a good link.”
Conte opted for the 3-5-1-1 system that is designed to coax the best out of Hazard, granting him the freedom to roam from a central position, and it was an arduous task for a Newcastle side that strained to track the forward’s slippery movement.
Newcastle’s defending had become worryingly ragged by the time Hazard equalised in the 21st minute. Andreas Christensen sent a looping header against the left post and the team in black and white stripes had not fallen back into shape when César Azpilicueta whipped in another menacing cross. Florian Lejeune stretched to divert the ball away from Morata and Hazard followed up, driving a bouncing shot past Karl Darlow.
Chelsea went in front 12 minutes later. Victor Moses, making his first start since suffering a hamstring injury two months ago, laced a cross into the six-yard box from the right and Morata headed home from close range.
It was a fine way for Chelsea to respond to adversity and Moses was instrumental in their third goal, earning a penalty thanks to Matt Ritchie’s desperate late tackle. Hazard dinked it down the middle to give his team a precious cushion.
Now Chelsea could do with an unlikely favour from West Ham.

Chelsea 3-1 Newcastle: Eden Hazard scores twice in man-of-the-match Premier League masterclass after Alvaro Morata reaches 10-goal landmark for Blues
By Sami Mokbel
Newcastle's biggest error? Having the temerity to take the lead.
When Dwight Gayle tapped home in the 12th minute, Rafa Benitez was rubbing his hands at the thought of getting one over a club - where on the whole - he is not remembered with much fondness.
Instead, it was the beginning of the end for his team. Chelsea were riled. Chelsea responded. Chelsea won.
Eden Hazard was the instigator, the Belgian producing another scintillating display to ensure his team keep on the coat tails of leaders Manchester City.
Newcastle tried marking him, they tried kicking him. They tried everything. They couldn't near him.
His double took his season tally to eight, an impressive return given he missed the opening month of the campaign.
Similarly, Antonio Conte's team are building up a head of steam; this victory their 19th point from a possible 21 in the league.
Manchester City may be running away with the title; Chelsea, though, aren't willing to give up their trophy without a fight.
As for Benitez, this was an altogether forgettable experience on this first return to Stamford Bridge after his interim spell in charge during the 2012-13 season.
Chelsea fans don't hold Benitez in the highest esteem, the boos that followed when his name was announced over the tannoy system illustrative of their disdain.
Suffice to say their feelings towards the former Blues manager didn't improve in the 12th minute as Newcastle took a shock lead.
Dwight Gayle had the simplest tasks of slotting home into an empty net from seven yards after Jacob Murphy nipped in front of the on-rushing Thibault Courtois to leave Chelsea's goal exposed.
The travelling Geordie support went crazy. Conte would have been just as emotional.
His side were lacklustre at the start of this encounter and punished for their loose opening.
But as champions do, Chelsea responded.
Hazard - on his return to the starting XI after being rested for Wednesday's win over Swansea - firing past Karl Darlow in the 21st minute after Florian Lejeune could only prod Cesc Fabregas' pass into the Belgian's path.
Truth be told, Chelsea should have been level before that Hazard's strike.
Karl Darlow produced an excellent instinctive save to deny Hazard in the 17th minute after Fabregas' unerring 60 yard pass neutralised Newcastle's defence.
Morata then had a strong penalty shout rejected by referee Kevin Friend after Darlow recklessly careered into the back of the Spain striker before Andreas Christensen saw his header cannon off the post a minute before Hazard's eventual leveller.
Following the euphoria of taking the lead, Newcastle were swiftly put back in their place.
Indeed it got worse for the Magpies in the 33rd minute as Chelsea edged ahead.
Victor Moses' bullet cross into the box to allow Morata to nod him from two yards was excellent.
But Matt Ritchie's attempted defensive header that allow Moses the time and space to find Morata was equally as bad.
Normal service resumed. Not that Conte's mood improved much.
Fresh from his FA misconduct charge for his touchline rant at official Lee Mason in midweek, the Italian's tether was pushed to its limits yet again here.
Friend's decision not to award Chelsea a penalty for Darlow's assault on Morata had the Chelsea manager seething.
He looked close to erupting when the referee refused to award his team a free kick on the edge of the box after Morata looked to have been fouled, Friend instead blowing up for half-time.
Chelsea were denied a second penalty shout, in the 56th minute after Hazard, in amongst a sea of bamboozled black and white shirts, fell just six yards from goal.
You can imagine Conte's reaction. This time, though, Friend looked to make the correct call.
Chelsea were in full control, though Ayoze Perez did fire a warning in the 60th minute, his shot from distance flashing wide.
Moses, performing well on his return to the starting XI after a two month injury absence - guided a header straight at Darlow in the 66th minute before Hazard just failed to get on the end of Danny Drinkwater's delicate flicked pass.
And it was a case of third time lucky for Chelsea as Hazard wrapped up victory with an audacious Paneka penalty after Ritchie's torrid afternoon continued when he tripped Moses after Fabregas' defence-splitting pass ripped Newcastle wide open.

Chelsea 3 Newcastle 1: Alvaro Morata and Eden Hazard double earn Blues victory
ON a day Antonio Conte kept his cool, well almost, Eden Hazard hit the hot spots and showed England just what to expect next summer.
By Tony Stenson
You hope Gareth Southgate is already working plans to mask the magical wand of the Belgium magician.
It won't be easy if Hazard maintain's this form throughout this season and into next summer's World Cup.
A gentle, almost leisurely start, gave way to powerful performance and doused Newcastle's fires.
He scored two and generally ran Newcastle ragged with an-action display. He could have scored more but for the solid hands of Newcastle keeper Karl Darlow’s.
It's not so much Hazard does when on the ball, but his runs off it had Newcastle's defence leaving by trying to track him down.
It wasn't star-studded, as previously witnessed, but solid, often skilful and the kind thaat makes managers dance on he line.
Not that Conte needs an excuse. Banned from touch-line on Wednesday, he stayed well within the guidelines yesterday, apart from a moment when he thought Morata should have had a penalty.
Newcastle did well, but had their limitations and could never establish a foothold, despite taking an early lead.
Once Chelsea and Hazard clicked through the gears the outcome looked inevitiable long before the end.
Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez might have lived just of the fringe with his relationship with Chelsea fans despite restoring confidence at a difficult time.
There's no doubting he's loved by Newcastle punters, who sang his name throughout of a game that buzzed from the opening moment.
Newcastle arrived with a game plan of of getting right into Chelsea's faces, they pressured with purpose and it took just 11 minutes to reap reward
A long, raking pass from Newcastle defender Florian Lejeune had Chelsea's unsettled defence hesitating and Dwight Gaye further panicked ranks by winning the header, the ball dropped loose, bounced off Marcos Alonso and Jacob Murphy just beat Thibaut Courtois to the ball, but as it broke lose Gayle steered it home.
Chelsea eventually re-grouped through N'Golo Kante eventual establishing control of midfield, Victor Moses menacing on the right and Fabregas finding range with his passes.
Danny Drinkwater also got stuck in, while up front Eden Hazard started to sprinkled his usual stardust in attack.
Conte almost lost it again when he thought Morata had been brought down by Newcastle keeper Karl Darlow, and then was down on his haunches when Alonso's header from Kante's cross hit a post.
But he was up, leaping high when Chelsea equalised in the 18th minute. Lejeuene could only block Cesar Azpilicueta's low cross and the ball dropped sweetly for Eden Hazard to score.
He almost went into over-drive in the 34th minute when they took the lead. Victor Moses carved space on the right and whipped in a wicked cross that all Morata had to do was stoop low and head in.
There's not as much evidence as Chelsea's breath-taking, attacking football showed last season, more a better work ethic.
They fight hard for each other, no longer rely on moments of Hazard magic. They hunt in packs and eventually Newcastle were forced further and further onto the back foot.
Gayle became more and more isolated in attack.
As game went on, Hazard more and more came into the game, surging passing and causing Newcastle all kinds of problems.
He often battle his way through and suffered many a buffeting.
It was always obviously Conte was going to withdraw him, keep him safe for the Champions League but his leaving present was their third from a 74rh minute penalty, after Murphy had brought down Moses following fine inter-change of passes between Hazard and Fabregas.
Both left the pitch to ghether to deserved thunderous applause, with Hazard just edging it.
Chelsea: Courtois 6; Azpilicueta 6, Christiansen 6 (Cahill 80th)5), Rudiger 6; Moses 7, Fabregas 7 (Bakayoko (77th05, Kante 6, Drinkwater 6, Alsono 6; Hazard 8(Willian 77th(5), Morata 6.
Newcastle: Darlow 6; Manquillo 6, Lejeune 6, Clarke 6, Mbemba 6; Merino 6 (Yedlin (85th)5, Diame 6 Ritchie 6 , Perez 6 (Hayden (60th)5), Murphy 6; Gayle 6.
Star Man: Eden Hazard. All fire and brimstone. Turned in a true team performance of high quality.

Eden Hazard caps starring role with ice-cool penalty as Chelsea come from behind to down struggling Newcastle
Chelsea 3 Newcastle United 1: Hazard scored goals either side of Alvaro Morata's headed finish as the Blues consigned their former manager Rafa Benitez to another defeat
Ben Burrows
There was to be no group of death for England in Friday’s World Cup group stage draw. But Diego Maradona’s hand of God may well have pulled out something even more deadly.
If Eden Hazard arrives in Kaliningrad in the form he is in right now there will be no English survivors. The brilliant Belgian single-handedly took Newcastle apart on Saturday afternoon. Gareth Southgate may wonder what fate may befall his side when he strides out against them on June 28.
Hazard is playing to the beat of his own drum right now and was the conductor extraordinaire here. Time slowing down around him, others trailing in his wake, everything coming oh so extraordinarily easy. Like Tom Brady in a pocket or Steve Smith on a crease we are truly watching a master at work, one far too good for the mere mortals in black and white opposite him at the Bridge, that's for sure.
Antonio Conte made four changes to the side that beat Swansea in midweek, Victor Moses, Danny Drinkwater and Cesar Azpilicueta joining Hazard in a starting eleven that now appears to be the Italian’s favoured selection. Newcastle themselves made three alterations and it was one, Dwight Gayle, who made an almost immediate impact on proceedings.
The Magpies haven’t won since October but were the better team out the gate and when Jacob Murphy latched on to a loose ball in the area, Thibaut Courtois could only parry the ball into Gayle’s path who slotted easily into an empty net.
The travelling support were elated. The home faithful stunned. The returning Rafa Benitez, very much public enemy number one for the afternoon, grinning ear to ear. But the Spaniard’s expression was soon vexed once more with the early goal seemingly only serving to wake the sleepy hosts from their Saturday morning lie-in.
First Hazard raced clear from a delicious Cesc Fabregas pass only to be brilliantly denied by Karl Darlow. Darlow was again in the thick of the action moments later when he appeared to bundle Alvaro Morata to the ground. A surefire penalty but Kevin Friend waved away the furious home appeals. They were denied again when Andreas Christensen’s slightly scuffed header crashed off the post with Darlow beaten but the theme of the contest had been set. All it needed was the game’s star turn to make it count and he soon did.
It had to be him that would drag Chelsea level and he did so after 20 minutes, angling a neat half-volley into the ground and over Darlow after Florian Lejeune had blocked an Azpilicueta cross into his path.
Just as they did a fortnight ago at Manchester United, Newcastle had squandered a surprise early lead, and it was no shock at all when they were soon behind minutes later.
Morata had plenty to live up to upon his arrival in England this summer, a club record transfer fee on his shoulders and a club legend’s shadow over him. But deliver he has, his thumping header here a 13th goal or assist in 14 matches and a fourth in five games. The Spaniard is an old fashioned number nine, never afraid to put in the hard yards or wear a bruise or two for his cause, and was again excellent with none of Newcastle’s three centre-backs ever really able to get a grip on him for too long.
But as good as the young pretender was, Hazard is king around these parts and his reign is absolute. When Moses was felled by Matt Ritchie in the box after the break there was only man who would step up, and step up he did coolly dinking over Darlow to secure all three points.
He left the stage with 10 minutes to go, the maestro given the standing ovation he so richly deserved. With Hazard on this plane Chelsea could well be the one team to chase down Manchester City, he really is that good. Watching on from Moscow, Southgate will know that too.

RAFA'S ED-ACHE Chelsea 3 Newcastle 1
Eden Hazard scores twice, including cheeky Panenka penalty as Blues battle from behind to storm to victory
Dwight Gayle had earlier pounced on a defensive error to give Rafa Benitez's side a shock early lead at Stamford Bridge
By Justin Allen and Dave Fraser
EDEN HAZARD was the star of the show as Chelsea came from behind to win their fifth Premier League game in six.
Dwight Gayle’s 12th-minute opener only served to wake up the Blues.
Eden Hazard levelled with a shot hit off the ground in the 21st-minute before Alvaro Morata headed his tenth goal of the season 12 minutes later.
Hazard added a third from the spot with 16 minutes left before being substituted to a standing ovation.
Newcastle certainly did not come to Stamford Bridge to park the bus, going toe-to-toe with the Premier League champions.
And they moved into a shock lead.
Gayle won a header and Jacob Murphy caused panic in the Chelsea defence with the ball running loose off Marcos Alonso.
Thibaut Courtois dived at Murphy’s feet but the ball run loose to Dwight Gayle, who swept home.
The Blues poured forward in search of an instant equaliser.
Andreas Christensen headed over a Cesc Fabregas corner – and then Hazard was set clear by a Fabregas through ball but Karl Darlow raced out to block.
Christensen was then denied by the post after heading a cross towards goal... but there was no stopping Hazard levelling for Chelsea.
Cesar Azpilicueta’s cross was half cleared by Florian Lejeune only as far as Hazard, who smashed the ball down on to the ground and past Darlow.
And Chelsea moved in front when Victor Moses cashed in on Matt Richie’s poor defensive clearance, drilled a ball across goal just below head height and Morata crouched slightly to nod home.
The Blues almost added a third when Hazard picked up a pass from Alonso, advanced a few yards before striking a shot from 20 yards that took a wicked deflection of Clark.
It wrong-footed keeper Darlow, but the ball trickled just wide.
Hazard was again in the thick of the action.
Picking up the ball from a Morata knockdown, he managed to weave his way past three Newcastle defenders but lost his footing with just Darlow to beat.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was fuming on the touchline, believing his team should have been awarded a penalty – but referee Kevin Friend got it spot on by waving the protests away.
Hazard was on fire and was denied adding his second when he exchanged passes with Drinkwater but the ball bounced wrongly for him and Darlow was just able to block him.
But referee Friend pointed to the spot when Fabregas played in Moses, before being brought down by Ritchie.
Hazard duly stepped up to send Darlow the wrong way from 12 yards.
Then the brilliant Belgian charged through and Darlow made a great save to deny him his hat-trick, before he was subbed off to a standing ovation.
FACTS, STATS, GOALS & LOLS
Chelsea had only lost one of their last 22 top-flight home games against Newcastle (W15, D6).

Ahead of the game, Newcastle had won just one of their last 18 Premier League away games (D4, L13).
Eden Hazard scored with a cheeky, Panenka penalty to make it 3-1 to Chelsea
Prior to kick-off, Rafa Benitez had only won one of 12 competitive games as an opposition manager at Stamford Bridge (D4, L7).
Eden Hazard has scored more Premier League goals versus Newcastle than against any other team in the competition (6).
Since the start of last season, Alvaro Morata has scored 11 headed goals, more than any other player in Europe’s big five leagues.
WHAT THEY SAID
Chelsea forward Eden Hazard: "It's not a problem for me [to not score a hat-trick]. We won the game; that's the most important thing.
"We play on Tuesday so a rest is sometimes good, when I score two I want to score a hat-trick but the other boys score, no problem.
On his cheeky penalty: "When I take the ball in my hands, instinct. I just want to do this. I just want the goalkeeper to move, if he doesn't move, I'm in trouble.
"He moved, the ball is in the middle, It was a good penalty."
