    These players will probably crawl off the pitch today with the effort they have all put in.

  2. INJURY TIMEpublished at 90+1 mins

    Newcastle 2-2 Chelsea

    There will be five additional minutes to play - enough time for a winner?

  3. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 89 mins

    Joe Willock is on for Jacob Ramsey for Newcastle.

  4. CLOSE!published at 89 mins

    Newcastle 2-2 Chelsea

    Newcastle break after a Chelsea attack and Anthony Elanga charges up the pitch with the ball. He gets into the box, has support, but decides to go for it alone and sends his shot wide of the far post.

    Tom, London: An excellent idea from Steve @14:05. I would include straw bale walls too. And perhaps the sturdier the wall the closer you get to take the penalty kick!

    I'm shocked that there's only been four goals, there's been so many chances here. Chelsea look slightly like the fitter side.

    As much as Newcastle have done their best to bottle this, they don't deserve to lose it after that penalty debacle.

  8. CLOSE!published at 87 mins

    Newcastle 2-2 Chelsea

    The majority of the stadium thought this was in!

    A brilliant cross picks out Harvey Barnes and the Newcastle celebrations start as he connects sweetly with the volley but it whizzes inches wide of the far post.

    What a moment for Newcastle.

    Fabian Schar is onto a loose ball just inside the box but the bounce is awkward and he can only send his shot way over the bar.

    Why no yellow for that blatant Barnes dive?

  14. YELLOW CARDpublished at 77 mins

    Yoane Wissa is booked as he brings down Alejandro Garnacho trying to win the ball back for Newcastle.

    Impossible to say which way this game is going to go.

    Premier League

    Premier League Match Centre posted on X: "The referee’s call of no penalty to Newcastle was checked and confirmed by VAR – with the contact from Chalobah on Gordon deemed to be side-to-side in a shielding action and the ball within playing."

  17. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 75 mins

    Newcastle 2-2 Chelsea

    More shouts for a Newcastle penalty as Harvey Barnes goes down inside the box, but clearly far too easily under a slight bit of pressure from Reece James.

    I think we should formally grade penalties based on wall types. We've obviously established stone wall as the top of the scale, so maybe stud-wall partition belongs somewhere in the middle and perhaps shower-curtain at the other end?
