The Chelsea star who supporters are thanking after narrow victory over Newcastle United

Chelsea put another three points on the board as they secured a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United.

The result doesn't do justice to the dominance of the performance as the Blues had 16 shots on goal and 72% of possession against the relegation threatened side.

However a solitary goal from Marcos Alonso was enough to get the three points and move Frank Lampard's side into the top four, at least temporarily.

Supporters were asked who stole the show at Stamford Bridge and they had some interesting thoughts.

Jorginho, Kurt Zouma and Marcos Alonso all attracted decent ratings, while Willian and Mateo Kovacic also put in decent displays.

The star man in West London, however, was Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The winger was unplayable at times as he grabbed the crucial assist which secured the points for the Blues, and looked to cement himself in Frank Lampard's first choice XI.

At the other end of the spectrum supporters picked up in the quiet afternoons for Kepa Arrizabalaga, Fikayo Tomori and Mason Mount, while Ross Barkley attracted the lowest score.

However this is likely to be due to his limited time on the pitch after he went off injured with an ankle knock.
