Manager Frank Lampard says Chelsea need to "remain humble" after moving second in the Premier League table following a solid win over Newcastle.

An own goal by Federico Fernandez in the early minutes and a Tammy Abraham strike secured a fifth successive victory in all competitions for Frank Lampard sides as they climb up the table.

Chelsea's fifth league win of the season had left them briefly on top of the table, ahead of overnight leaders Leicester on goal difference, before Tottenham moved two points clear at the summit after beating Manchester city by 2 goal to nothing later on Saturday evening.

Frank Lampard had this to say "I know we are top of the league for five minutes but we have to think about the big picture," Lampard said, speaking before the Tottenham game.

"We know that there is improvement and work to be done. We have to remain humble."

But Abraham made sure of the points with a smart finish following Werner's pass inside the box eighteen after coming close to scoring with a header in the early minutes of the first half.
