Events
Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at St James' Park as Newcastle United FC face off against Chelsea FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 2' Against the run of play, Sandro Tonali has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 7' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 12' It is a cagey affair so far. Newcastle United FC in their 3-4-2-1 trying to find a way past Chelsea FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 17' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 22' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 27' Trevoh Chalobah is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Newcastle United FC so far.
- 32' Anthony Gordon is a natural midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for Chelsea FC tonight.
- 35' Nicolas Jackson has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 35.
- 39' It’s gonna be a card for Enzo Maresca.
- 44' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Robert Sanchez suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' Poor challenge from Enzo Fernandez. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 46' Noni Madueke makes way for Reece James at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Chelsea FC.

- 64' That looks like a foul for a card for Jacob Murphy.
- 65' Emil Krafth is ready to make an impact after coming on for Anthony Gordon at the 65 minute mark.
- 70' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 75' Chelsea FC ring the changes. Trevoh Chalobah has done his job and it is now time for Jadon Sancho to step up.
- 80' It looks surprising Newcastle United FC does not make any changes. Jadon Sancho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 84' Newcastle United FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 89' Emil Krafth picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 90' Bruno Guimaraes doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 90' Poor challenge from Levi Colwill. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
