Two early games were played today in the Premier League, with Newcastle beating Fulham with a dramatic 1-0 and Chelsea beating Crystal Palace.
Newcastle - Fulham 0:1
Newcastle hosted Fulham and Manor Solomon tonight (Sunday) at St. James Park, for a match between two of the pleasant surprises of the Premier League this season.
The Israeli, who is gradually coming back from injury, did not participate, and saw his friends holding out against high pressure from the host, when in the 60th minute Fabian Schaar, the Swiss stopper, fired a great free ball that hit Pop's crossbar.
In the 69th minute came one of the strangest moments in the league this season, the VAR alerted the referee to a foul in the box significantly late, and Fulham received a penalty kick from 11 meters.
Aleksandar Mitrovic, the great Serbian, stepped up to kick and scored, but during the kick he slipped and the ball hit both of his legs - and the goal was disallowed.
In the 89th minute came Newcastle's big moment.
Fabian Shaar was brought into the box, Callum Wilson shot once, was blocked but managed to pass to the substitute Alexander Isaac who in front of the substitute goal scored a very sweet winning goal.
Thanks to the victory, Newcastle climbs above Manchester United and returns to third place in the table, what a dream season for Eddie Howe's team.

Chelsea - Crystal Palace 0:0
Against the background of the great signing of Modric, who watched his friends from the stands, Chelsea hosted Crystal Palace tonight at Stamford Bridge and wanted to achieve a victory that would bring them a little closer to the top of the Premier League.
It was going very hard until the 64th minute, when Hakim Zaish collected an excellent ball into the box and the German Kai Hebertz rose above everyone to knock in a precious goal that gave the Blues 3 points, and Graham fired the coach a lot of air to breathe.
Chelsea clings to Liverpool with 28 points in the middle of the table, and runs away from Crystal Palace who is now 6 points away from them.
