55 - Newcastle 2-0 Chelsea
Pope unconvincing in coming out to meet a cross.
He eventually scampers well out his box and wide to stop the ball going for a corner, nodding it out for a throw.
He then kicks the ball away to stop Chelsea taking a quick one. Another yellow card for the hosts.

First flashpoint of the second half. Gordon nutmegs Badiashile but the ball just escapes him.
He goes lunging in with a challenge on Cucurella who makes a bit of a meal of it and the Chelsea players scream for a red card.
Joelinton then gets involved in the shoving match but the referee cools the situation quite quickly by taking the yellow card out.

Newcastle get the second half up and running!
Here they come
The teams are back out for the second half.
No changes for either side at the break.
First half by numbers
Half the passes of Chelsea, a third of possession and only one shot on target.
It wouldn't be inspiring stats for the home side if they weren't 2-0 ahead!
They're letting Chelsea have the ball and Chelsea appear quite happy to keep giving them it back.
From Ian Murtagh at St James' Park
Newcastle go in 2-0 up at half-time and are good value for the lead following Isak’s opener and Disasi’s own goal.
But Chelsea were left to rue their profligacy – the visitors should have been ahead after one minute and looked threatening in the final third throughout.
Defensive mistakes and missed chances proved their undoing.

Newcastle get a free kick wide on the left but Hall's outswinging delivery is just too high for Joelinton to get a clean header onto.
From Ian Murtagh at St James' Park
Two goals in three minutes midway through the first half put Newcaslte firmly in control at St James’ Park.

Chelsea should have one back. Felix and Mudryk work a clever one-two on the edge of the box, the latter with a clever flicked pass into Felix's path.

Their first shot on target!

Chance for Joao Felix to make it 1-0.
