#🗒️Match Events
- 1st Half Begins
###13’| ⚽ Goal! Newcastle United [1], Chelsea 0. Alexander Isak (Newcastle United) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the high centre of the goal. Assisted by Lewis Miley with a through ball.
- ISAK SCORES! Chelsea just didn’t clear their lines properly and Gordon was able to keep it alive on the left. He works it along the edge of the box, with Joelinton teeing up Miley for a perfectly-timed throughball. Badiashile tried to drop off, but Isak was onside and made no mistake as he rifled his shot over Sanchez. 1-0 Newcastle!
22’| Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.
###23’| ⚽Goal! Newcastle United 1, Chelsea [1]. Raheem Sterling (Chelsea) from a free kick with a right footed shot to the top left corner.
- STERLING EQUALISES! It’s a wonderful free-kick from Sterling, who steps up to take the set-piece he won just outside the D. He lifts his shot up and over the wall, and a static Pope can only watch as the ball nestles into the near top corner. 1-1!
41’| Lesley Ugochukwu (Chelsea) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.
45’+3’| Joelinton (Newcastle United) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.
HALF-TIME: NEWCASTLE UNITED 1-1 CHELSEA
46’| Jamaal Lascelles (Newcastle United) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.
55’| Reece James (Chelsea) is shown the yellow card.
59’| Raheem Sterling (Chelsea) is shown the yellow card.
###60’| ⚽ Goal! Newcastle United [2], Chelsea 1. Jamaal Lascelles (Newcastle United) header from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by Anthony Gordon with a cross following a set piece situation.
- LASCELLES SCORES! It’s a wonderful cross from Gordon on the left which is whipped deep into the box and Lascelles has a free run straight through the middle of the box to get on the end of it. None of the Chelsea players spot him, and the defender thumps a header past Sanchez and into the back of the net. 2-1 Newcastle!
###61’| ⚽ Goal! Newcastle United [3], Chelsea 1. Joelinton (Newcastle United) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner.
- JOELINTON SCORES! And that’s a moment to forget for Silva! It’s knocked back to the defender, who sees Joelinton coming, but he’s let down by his control. He shifts to his right, leaving the ball behind, and Joelinton is alert, racing onto it before firing a third goal past Sanchez. 3-1 Newcastle!
69’| Substitution, Chelsea. Mykhailo Mudryk replaces Conor Gallagher.
69’| Substitution, Chelsea. Armando Broja replaces Nicolas Jackson.
69’| Substitution, Chelsea. Moisés Caicedo replaces Lesley Ugochukwu.
73’| 🟥 Second yellow card to Reece James (Chelsea) for a bad foul.
- JAMES IS SENT OFF! It goes from bad to worse for Chelsea! Sanchez chips it out to the right-back, who tries to catch Gordon out with a clever bit of footwork, only to gift it to the winger. He has no choice but to tug him back to prevent him from getting into the box, and he’s shown his second booking of the game. The Blues are down to 10!
75’ Substitution, Chelsea. Levi Colwill replaces Cole Palmer.
77’ Marc Cucurella (Chelsea) is shown the yellow card.
81’ Levi Colwill (Chelsea) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.
81’ Substitution, Newcastle United. Matt Ritchie replaces Alexander Isak.
###83’ ⚽ Goal! Newcastle United [4], Chelsea 1. Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United) right footed shot from the left side of the box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Miguel Almirón with a through ball.
- GORDON SCORES! And that will do it for Newcastle! It’s all about the pass between the lines from Almiron as he lifts it over Silva to play in Gordon, who curves his run around Badiashile to stay onside. He takes it into the box and gets his shot away early, drilling it low across goal and into the far bottom corner. 4-1 Newcastle!
86’ Substitution, Newcastle United. Paul Dummett replaces Jamaal Lascelles.
87’ Substitution, Newcastle United. Alex Murphy replaces Miguel Almirón.
87’ Substitution, Chelsea. Noni Madueke replaces Raheem Sterling.
90+1’| Into five minutes of added time here, and Newcastle are aiming to see out this game. They’re still dominating possession, and Chelsea just can’t get out of their own half.
#FT’: Newcastle 4-1 Chelsea
Newcastle scorers: Alexander Isak (13’), Jamaal Lascelles (60’), Joelinton (61’), Anthony Gordon (83’)
Chelsea Scorers: Raheem Sterling (23’), 🟥Reece James (73’)
Anthony now looks decent, Joelinton 's won over the fans, looks like Newcastle are now a big 6 while Chelsea slip from big 6
Chelsea brought right back down to earth
Reece James is far too petulant to be captain in my opinion often picks up needless yellows because he loses the head!
Hhhh the best youth super team
Livramento, Isak, Miley, Gordon. Plus hall, Anderson, Tonali and Botman who weren’t available today(for various reasons) that’s a youth super team for me.
I cannot tell you how disappointed I am that Karius, Dubravka, or Gillespie did not sub on as a field player.
I hear dubs likes playing as a right winger
