Certainty will be high after this unequivocal win over transfer undermined Newcastle which saw Pedro Rodriguez score twice after Diego Costa's fifth-minute opener while Willian and Bertrand Traore additionally netted. There was a blow for Chelsea, with commander John Terry falling off before halftime with a "little solid issue" that will be surveyed on Sunday, supervisor Guus Hiddink said.
Hiddink stays unbeaten since supplanting let go director Jose Mourinho in December. "We attempted to press from the main moment to astound them and I think we did," Hiddink told British telecaster BT Sport. "We had an early objective and an early second objective so that made them extremely temperamental. "What, for me, is imperative is the great association protectively and not dropping back."
Chelsea dashed into a 3-0 lead inside 17 minutes and looked like champions, yet that was fundamentally down to Newcastle's cataclysmic shielding as Steve McClaren's group lost for the 6th straight away amusement to fall into the transfer zone beneath Norwich on objective contrast. Andros Townsend did score his first objective since joining Newcastle in the 90th moment yet it was a simple comfort.
"We got rebuffed extremely," McClaren said. "We have been uncovered today by a decent group."
Costa demonstrated no evil impacts in the wake of softening his nose up preparing on Thursday. Hiddink clowned Chelsea had a "Zorro group" after Costa joined Cesar Azpilicueta in requiring a face veil. Nemanja Matic and Gary Cahill have likewise as of late worn the security. "(Costa) needed to play urgently," Hiddink said. "The way the main objective was scored was commonly a striker who is fit as a fiddle."
In the fifth moment, Costa jumped in the case after Willian burst down the right channel and encouraged the striker.

Next Pedro captured Rolando Aarons' go toward Daryl Janmaat and executed a fine complete in the ninth. Chelsea had a third when Costa beat Fabricio Coloccini to the ball and set up Willian to score in the seventeenth.

Having lost Terry, it showed up Chelsea may likewise need to pull back Eden Hazard when Janmaat got the Belgian from behind. However, Hazard, on his first Premier League begin since Jan. 3, proceeded. Mitrovic was gotten by Cesc Fabregas on the edge of Chelsea's crate, yet no foul was given and Cahill obstructed Shelvey's exertion before Mitrovic let go wide crosswise over objective.
The brief whirlwind of assaulting action ahead of schedule in the second half added up to a purple patch for the guests, who soon yielded a fourth in the 59th. Taylor neglected to achieve Fabregas' ball over the top and Pedro tucked in effortlessly. "The fourth objective truly murdered us and that is the thing that can happen when you come here," McClaren said.
A fifth took after when Traore tucked in Azpilicueta's cross for his first Premier League objective in the 83rd. Peril figured out how to miss from short proximity before Townsend struck late on, terminating low into the net.
