Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has highlighted the determination of his teammates to win at St. James’ Park as the key for defeated uneasy foes Newcastle, especially after “the international break”.

The Blues recorded two goals in the match, one an own goal in the first half and the second goal in the second half through Abraham after a blistering run by Timo Werner.

The striker said: “Fantastic result, we dug deep. Coming here is never a easy place to come and get three points but we did that today. It was 1-0 for a very long time.

“They created a few chances and so did we but we defended well and got the second goal.”

“We didn’t let the international break distract us. We had to come out all guns blazing and that’s what we did today and like I said, it was a massive three points.

“Them games are tricky, always tricky. When you’re 1-0 up and you can’t get that second goal and they’ve created a few chances, it’s very easy to drop your head and lose confidence but we didn’t do that.

“We knew we’re quick on counter attacks so I got myself forward and I was tired but I had to stay in control and pass it through the keeper which it what I done and killed the game off thankfully.”
