Kick-off at St. James' Park as Chelsea and Newcastle get things underway. Big game this for both teams.

NUFC 0-0 CFC 1'

Nick Woltemade has given his side lead inside the first 10 minutes of the game. Some retribution this for the German after last weekend's own-goal. Some start by the hosts.

NUFC 1-0 CFC 4'

Chelsea look rattled here! Newcastle are all over the visitors and Enzo Maresca must be a worried man. The Magpies are showing tenacity and pressing high up the pitch.

NUFC 1-0 CFC 9'

Newcastle win a corner and it is swung in the Chelsea defence but the latter hold it off with David Sanchez grabbing it both hands.

NUFC 1-0 CFC 14'

Chelsea have not being given any time on the ball and that, coupled with the noise the home crowd is making, has them a little rattled. Cucurella is a prime example.

NUFC 1-0 CFC 17'

Chelsea have been hit by the Nick Woltemade juggernaut. The German is right at the end of a great cross by Anthony Gordon and the forward makes no mistake to put it past David Sanchez. However, we have a VAR check. The goal stands!

NUFC 2-0 CFC 20'

If his press-conference comments were to go by, Enzo Maresca is surely now under-pressure now with what his team has performed here. They have been over-run and out-maneuvered by the hosts.

NUFC 2-0 CFC 27'

A long ball down the channel is hurting Chelsea as the Newcastle forward line are using their physicality to better use. CFC defence looks clueless and cannot control the home attack.

NUFC 2-0 CFC 32'

Five minutes before we hit HT but Chelsea have improved themselves as they look to grab a goal before the break.

NUFC 2-0 CFC 40'

Pedro Neto heads into the Newcastle net but ref sees there's a foul in the build-up and blows the whistle.

NUFC 2-0 CFC 42'

Chelsea will go into the break with a two-nil deficit but the question will be on their team's fans as to how will they a goal? The Blues are rattled and look insipid in the middle.

NUFC 2-0 CFC 45+3'

Newcastle 2-0 Chelsea

It's the captain! Reece James scores right after the break and just the antidote the Blues wanted. Game On!

NUFC 2-1 CFC 49'

This is turning out to be some game! Second-half could see some goals with both sides weak in defence.

NUFC 2-1 CFC 51'

Chelsea make a change as Enzo Fernández is sent on for Malo Gusto, who was on a yellow.

NUFC 2-1 CFC 55'

Pedro Neto plays it to Alejandro Garnacho inside the box, gets the ball back and then sees his strike saved by Aaron Ramsdale.

NUFC 2-1 CFC 59'NUFC 2-1 CFC 59'

Challenges and some hot heads out there with players clashing from both ends. Some battle this! Can't take the eye off this match.

NUFC 2-1 CFC 62'

Oh Thiaw! Newcastle have allowed Chelsea to get back in the game and the Blues have drawn level! Some fightback this. Eddie Howe and the home fans are stunned whereas the Blues are ecstatic.

Chelsea have completed the comeback!

NUFC 2-2 CFC 66'

Magpies change their front line as two-goal scorer Nick Woltemade, Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy are replaced by Harvey Barnes, Yoane Wissa and Anthony Elanga.

NUFC 2-2 CFC 74'

Pedro Neto finds ample of space but goes into no man's land and as the ball is passed to Anthony Elanga, the Swede too ends up the same and the home fans are not happy with it.

NUFC 2-2 CFC 76'

Caicedo goes on his marauding run and is not been tackled by the NUFC players and the Blues player shoots from afar but his delivery goes slightly wide off the post. Elsewhere, Cole Palmer is subbed off for Andrey Santos.

NUFC 2-2 CFC 80'

CFC look the team to be scoring the next goal with NUFC unable to break the shackles and attack the opposition goal. Howe wears a worried look on the sidelines.

NUFC 2-2 CFC 82'

Harvey Barnes receives a brilliant cross and the Newcastle celebrations start as he connects sweetly with the volley but his connection is wide.

NUFC 2-2 CFC 85'

Joe Willock is on for Jacob Ramsey for Newcastle. Fourth official signals five additional mins.

NUFC 2-2 CFC 90+1'

Reece James seems to have pulled down Harvey Barnes but the VAR says no Red and on we go.

NUFC 2-2 CFC 90+4'

An entertaining draw!
