70 min: Likelihood for Guimaraes Murphy, who has had a terrific sport, clips a candy cross into the world for Guimaraes. He permits the ball to ran throughout his physique however then leathers it excessive and large. That was unusually wild from Guimaraes, particularly as his return passes within the closing third have been so composed and penetrative right this moment.
69 min “Eddie might need missed a trick by not altering issues up at half-time,” says Chris Paraskevas. “Going to be tough to wrest the momentum again. Would possibly I recommend Wilson for his hold-up play? Isak has been pretty abnormal not too long ago and his physique language doesn’t look fairly proper (regardless of persistently scoring key objectives in the previous few video games).”
67 min After one other good Chelsea transfer, James’s cross is barely too heavy for Cucurella on the far publish. Three factors would justify Newcastle’s techniques but it surely does really feel like they’ve allowed Chelsea again right into a sport that appeared throughout at half-time.
66 min “With regards to the kind of pink card Jackson bought, I all the time have sympathy with the offending participant because the state of affairs is almost all the time a case of each gamers making an attempt to leap or jockey, making a pure levering movement and whoever catches who with the arm will get the cardboard,” says Russell Yong. “And the digicam does lie: a participant trying behind him is perhaps seeking to see the place his opponent is to harm him, or he may simply be making an attempt to guage that he isn’t there to be damage.
“Intent hardly ever reads nicely with out verbal affirmation, however (and perhaps it’s naive) I’ve religion that almost all gamers, even within the warmth of video games, aren’t out to harm each other. However intent is a moot level anyway, because the foul merely punishes harmful play. It’s unfair in the identical means {that a} bicycle kick is both a spectacular purpose or a dangerously excessive boot, however we’ve got to reside with it.”
Some actually attention-grabbing factors. Intent is even tougher to appraise as of late as a result of 99.94 per cent of footballers knowingly attempt it on with referees on a regular basis. Like the person stated: who ya gonna imagine?
64 min: Newcastle substitution Emil Krafth is on for Anthony Gordon, which presumably means Jacob Murphy will transfer again into midfield. Speaking of which, Murphy has simply been booked for delaying the restart.
Gordon went off like a prepare and set the tone for Newcastle’s sensible begin.
62 min It’s all Chelsea now. Lavia performs an outstanding cross by the strains to Palmer, who sweeps it throughout to Cucurella on the left aspect of the world. He takes a contact and rifles a low drive again throughout purpose that forces Pope to alter route and get right down to beat the ball away. That’s a very good save.
58 min Tonali drives a nook past the far publish to Isak, who slashes a volley again throughout purpose and large. Good concept, very powerful likelihood.
57 min Fernandez releases Cucurella, whose chipped cross is simply too near Pope.
Chelsea have completed okay within the second half. If they’ll hold it at 1-0 till the final 10 minutes, St James’ Park will begin to get very jittery.
55 min: Newcastle substitution Lewis Miley replaces Sven Botman, which presumably means a return to 4-3-3. Botman isn’t injured, there’s nothing to fret about, they’re simply managing his minutes after such an injury-hit season.
54 min “Relating to Simon Dobinson’s message pre-kick-off, I’ve observed quite a lot of this sort of chat, and never simply from keyboard folks but additionally folks speaking on podcasts who, in my view, ought to know higher,” says Jon Collin. “Brighton are a reasonably small membership within the scheme of issues, they hadn’t been within the high division for all of my lifetime (i.e. a reasonably very long time) and now are established there.
“They’ve at the very least seven huge golf equipment above them who exist on a unique monetary planet. They spent some huge cash final summer season however that was earned by a number of seasons of coining it promoting the choicest fruits of their Belgian expertise lab to e.g. Chelsea. Now individuals are going to pi$$ and whine as a result of they ‘solely’ end within the high half. Disband the web.”
Can I? Can I actually? WILL I GET THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE?
49 min Chelsea are literally enjoying with James as a part of a again three. And he has simply eased Gordon to the ground within the space, prompting one other unsuccessful penalty enchantment from the house followers. Replays present it was a lean slightly than a shove.

“I’m all for the good thing about the doubt with swinging arms hitting a participant behind as you could have eyes on the ball and use your arms to leap and for leverage, and so forth,” says Hugh Molloy. “Nonetheless, that every one goes out of the window once you visually line a participant up and no intent for the ball, particular pink.”
I’d argue it’s a bit extra nuanced than that. I don’t have oodles of sympathy for Jackson on this case – however you’ll be able to, within the parlance of our time, do somebody with out trying. Equally, you’ll be able to line them up and provides them nothing greater than a mildly erotic nostril tickle.
However yeah, the look betrays intent of some type so he was asking for trouble. The TNT pundits, Joe Cole and Peter Crouch, each assume it was a pink card.

“The Chelsea ‘All-At-C’ again 4 is entertaining, positive,” says Matt Dony. “Nevertheless it’s hardly Younger Fish Costa Fortune.”
A reference from the early 2000s, Matt? Why so trendy?
Half time: Newcastle 1-0 Chelsea
Caicedo, Palmer and a few different Chelsea gamers have phrases with the referee at half-time. The fact is that they have been being outplayed, outsmarted and outrun even earlier than Nicolas Jackson was given a straight pink for a forearm smash on Sven Botman.
Sandro Tonali scored within the second minute and bar some promising runs from Pedro Neto, all of the risk has come from Newcastle. Tactically, the primary half was precisely as Eddie Howe deliberate.
45+4 min Neto leads a Chelsea break, working half the size of the sphere earlier than his shot from the angle is blocked by Botman. Burn couldn’t stick with Neto however did lean on him simply sufficient to sluggish Neto down and permit Botman to get throughout.
45+1 min Tonali cuts the ball again to Isak, whose first contact takes the ball away from Cucurella. Nevertheless it’s all very congested and Sanchez is ready to cease Isak getting a shot in.
Six minutes of added time. In opposition to 11 males and 10, Newcastle have been simply sensible.
Sensible sort out from Chalobah
43 min Murphy (I feel) fires a cross into Guimaraes 20 yards from purpose. He opens his physique to angle a wonderfully weighted first-time cross by to Barnes, whose shot on the run is blocked at supply by the flying Chalobah. That’s actually good defending. And the cross from Guimaraes was attractive.

42 min “ Newcastle’s again three/4/5 chameleon routine actually did a quantity on Jackon’s headspace,” says Chris Paraskevas. “He discovered himself remoted towards one or two of the centre-backs nearly each time, and misplaced most duels. And when the ball squirmed free somebody in black and white picked up the scraps.
“A pseudo-gegenpress/anti-football/Reverse WM cocktail. One other masterclass from Eddie (and a great factor he didn’t take my recommendation about Dan Burn as a left again!)”
40 min Out of nothing Chelsea produce their greatest likelihood. A low cross from the left reaches Neto, whose first-time shot is crucially blocked by the lunging Burn. I used to assume Burn was extra mouth than trousers; it’s good to confess I used to be utterly unsuitable. He’s been unbelievable this season.
39 min Lavia is warned by the referee after fouling Guimaraes. Enzo Maresca is having an animated chat with the fourth official; in truth Maresca has simply been booked.
As unhealthy as that is for Chelsea – and it’s unhealthy you understand – they’re just about assured to complete within the high 5 in the event that they win their final two video games towards Man Utd and Nottingham Forest.
38 min “I’ll see your 13 five-a-side objectives and lift them to the 33 I scored simply yesterday,” says Tim Woods. “My six-year-old was completely outclassed and I feel he’d say the identical himself.”
37 min A mighty header from Dan Burn swerves simply large of the far publish. He was offside, so it wouldn’t have counted, but it surely was nearly a mirror picture of his purpose towards Liverpool within the cup closing.
Nicolas Jackson is shipped off!
36 min That’s an enormous second, and it means Jackson might be suspended for the lat two video games of the season as nicely. It was a routine aerial problem simply previous the midway line. Jackson appeared over his shoulder after which administered a forearm smash on Botman. I’m nonetheless unsure it’s worse than, say Tyrone Mings’ elbow yesterday, however as Roy Keane all the time says, don’t give the referee an opportunity to ship you off.

The referee goes to the monitor!
35 min Nicolas Jackson is in plentiful trouble.
VAR verify for a doable pink card
33 min Jackson flattens Botman and is booked. It was a stiff arm to the face, in truth, and VAR are checking this. Not fairly sufficient for a pink is my intuition; it was a straight arm slightly than an elbow.

28 min Palmer tries a really imaginative lengthy cross, designed to place Madueke by on purpose. Murphy tracks his run and ushers the ball by to Pope.
