Chelsea came from behind to defeat Newcastle 3-1 in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Super Eagles forward Victor Moses made his first start for Chelsea since October 14 and provided the assist for his side’s second goal scored by Alvaro Morata.
Moses also had a hand in Chelsea’s third goal scored by Eden Hazard from the penalty spot after the Nigerian was fouled inside the box.
Dwight Gayle had given Newcastle a shock early lead before his goal was cancelled out by Hazard.
The win means Chelsea sit in third position on 32 points, eight points behind leaders Manchester City who will host West Ham on Sunday.
Newcastle had a strong start to the game and were rewarded in the 12th minute as Gayle pounced on a loose ball to put the visitors 1-0 up.
Chelsea went close to leveling the score in the 17th minute through Hazard whose effort was kept out by Karl Darlow.
In the 21st minute, Chelsea equalised thanks to Hazard who got to a loose ball before hitting a low shot into the back of the net.
