Newcastle 3-1 Chelsea
81. Newcastle sub with less than 10 minutes to play:
- OFF: Isak
- ON: Ritchie
81. Newcastle sub with less than 10 minutes to play:
80. Colwill flies through the back of Almiron on the touchline and it's another Newcastle free kick, near the halfway line.
Colwill is also shown a yellow card. They're racking up now!
78. Trippier's delivery is good this time and almost finds Lascelles again but it's well defended by Colwill who steers it away.
Newcastle will come again though....
77. Cucurella fouls Livramento on the Newcastle left.
He is then shown a yellow card for DISSENT! Another absolutely stupid booking for Chelsea.
He's also now suspended for next week!
What a save from Sanchez!
75. Newcastle piling on the pressure now. Intricate football down the right sees Bruno Guimaraes picking the ball up on the edge and striking at goal, which is blocked.
Schar then picks up the clearance and drives 20 yards before firing low at goal and it's flying in but for a diving save from Sanchez to palm away.
Chelsea sub after that red card:
73. Foolish from James, especially as captain.
His first yellow card comes from kicking the ball away. That one, he tried a fancy flick to take it back towards his own goal and away from Gordon.
The Newcastle man reads it and is driving towards the box and is clipped and brought down. No complaints from James who gives the armband to Silva and trudges off.
REECE JAMES IS SENT OFF FOR A SECOND YELLOW!
70. Palmer dropping deeper than Caicedo and Enzo to pick up possession, surely he should be further up the park!
Caicedo slides a pass into the box for Sterling but Livramento does brilliantly to get back goal side and win it back.
James then fouls Gordon again to relieve the moment or so of pressure.
67. Chelsea free kick on the right after a daft Schar foul.
But Palmer loses out and Newcastle break through Guimaraes. He slips a ball through for Gordon which James does exceptionally well to slide in and win.
Chelsea readying a triple sub....
Two goals in 90 seconds!! A howler from Thiago Silva!!!
Newcastle took the free kick short at 1-1 and it was switched out to Anthony Gordon on the left, who swings a beauty of a cross in for Lascelles to bullet a header home from eight yards.
Then from the restart it's played back to Thiago Silva who dithers on the ball before missing it altogether when trying to pass it back to his keeper.
Contryman Joelinton nips in to go 1v1 with Sanchez before smashing into the bottom corner!
Incredible noise inside St James' - what a minute and a half!
NO, IT'S NOT A DUPLICATE, THEY'VE SCORED AGAIN, NEWCASTLE!!
NEWCASTLE TAKE THE LEAD AGAIN - THIS TIME THROUGH THE SKIPPER JAMAAL LASCELLES!!
59. Another Newcastle free kick as Sterling again shoves Trippier over on the touchline.
He's then shown yellow card for kicking the ball away.
This free kick again a few yards inside the Chelsea half.
58. Sterling fouls Trippier this time, 10 yards inside the Chelsea half.
His delivery from the free kick is a bit better as Joelinton flicks it on, but Ugochukwu sees it out well for a goal kick.
57. Foul by Cucurella on the touchline, 25 yards from his own goal and Newcastle have a free kick and chance to put the ball into the area.
Kieran Trippier's delivery hits the first man.
NO PENALTY
There didn't appear to be much contact, if any at all. But he's adamant, Sterling.
He then plays Jackson in behind after a one-two and the strike opts not to volley when 1v1 with Pope and that allows Schar to get back in and win possession.
53. Sterling drives into the box and goes down.
The referee waves play on as Sterling stays down. Chelsea keep possession but there is a VAR check as play continues....
51. Lascelles volleys the corner which comes back to Trippier. Jackson throws himself to ground in a challenge with the defender but the referee points for a corner.
Chelsea defend this one well and manage to clear to halfway.
50. Sanchez flaps at it and is bailed out by James who nudges it behind for another corner.
From the right this time.
49. Joelinton fouled by James on the left but the corner is given as Newcastle launch their first attack of the second half.
Trippier heads over to take it from the left.
47. Reece James actually takes this one and sends it well over the top.
Strange decision after what Sterling did in the first half but fair enough.
46. 20 seconds into the second half, which Newcastle took kick off, and Jamal Lascelles has picked up a yellow card.
He gave the ball away carelessly and chased Jackson back towards his own box before fouling him.
22 yards from goal and another great opportunity for Sterling, left of centre.
