and american bryson dechambeau leads the fedex cup playoffs after winning the northern trust in newjerseythanks forjoining us on sport today. it wasn't easy, but chelsea maintained their 100% start to the premier league season with a 2—1 victory over newcastle at st james‘s park, to the delight of new boss maurizio sarri. eden hazard's penalty and a yedlin own—goal three minutes from time was enough to overcome newcastle and their five—man defence. rafa's benitez‘s tactics proved suprising for the chelsea manager it's very difficult to play here, for every team, not only for us. it was difficult. after the 1—1, i think we were a bit unlucky in the action around the goal. but we knew that here it's very difficult for every team, but i think especially for us. fulham picked up their first win since promotion by beating burnley 4—2, aleksandar mitrovic scoring twice at craven cottage. and chelsea aren't the only side to make it three wins from three on sunday. watford beat crystal palace 2—1 at vicarage road, and are up to third. i think there is no secret. the most important is to work hard
