As well as goalscoring duties, Estevao Willian is also on corner duty for Chelsea. A couple have caused Bayer Leverkusen's defence real problems.

The Friday night football in the north east is under way.

Jarell Quansah can count his lucky stars he is still on the pitch.

Oh, wow!

Jarell Quansah has just gone through the back of Cole Palmer and the Chelsea forward is not happy.

He shoves the former Liverpool defender, who deservedly gets a yellow card - the third of this 'friendly'.

Dying to see Estevao Willian's stats in this game.

He's here, there and everywhere.

It's hard to judge a team in pre-season. You can win all your friendlies and still make a poor start to the season.

But Chelsea look sharp.

Former Brentford keeper Mark Flekken has been forced into a couple of neat saves to prevent the Blues from extending their lead.

Estevao Willian scored against his new club at the Club World Cup for Palmeiras and now scores on his unofficial debut at Stamford Bridge.

Of course, it was effectively an open goal for the 18-year-old but it was well taken.

It only adds to the folklore of a player many are expecting to become a superstar.

Does Stamford Bridge have a new goal hero?

Estevao Willian is making fans sit up and take notice.

Wonderful stuff from the 18-year-old talent.

Now Marc Cucurella hits the deck after a robust challenge.

Enzo Maresca does not want any new injuries tonight...

Back to St James' Park...

Eddie Howe's men last played on home turf on 25 May and tasted defeat to Everton.

Luckily for Newcastle, other results on the Premier League's final day meant Champions League football would be coming to the north east.

Now Trevoh Chalobah has been booked.

Stuart Attwell does know this is a friendly, right?

Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond: Apparently United want £50m for him. I'd like to own a Ferrari.

Chelsea look pretty sharp considering they have only had three days of proper training since their holidays.

Leverkusen played their first friendly just five days after Chelsea won the Club World Cup on 18 July.

Great link up play between Cole Palmer and Estevao Willian results in a corner. Chelsea fans are already warming to the Brazilian teenager. He's got them on the edge of their seats each time he has the ball.

Lg: Chelsea fan here - we don't need Garnacho, get a decent keeper instead.

A reminder this is a friendly.

Six minutes in and Robert Andrich is shown a yellow card for a clumsy challenge on Andrey Santos.

Trevoh Chalobah has moved to the left centre-back role with Levi Colwill having had surgery on a serious knee injury in training this week.

Benoit Badiashile also suffered an injury at the Club World Cup so is absent today.

Meanwhile, Chelsea fans begin their chants back at Stamford Bridge with "champions of the world" and "we've won it all."

There's a real buzz each time Estevao Willian gets the ball.

The exciting Brazil teenager tries to tee up Marc Cucurella inside the box but his attempt is blocked.

The Alexander Isak saga continues to cast a shadow on Tyneside.

Isak, who was subject of a bid from Liverpool last week, is not expected to feature against Espanyol or, indeed, Atletico Madrid tomorrow.

It will fall to Anthony Gordon and William Osula to fill in again over the next couple of days.

Although the pair have worked tirelessly in pre-season, Newcastle look light up front after losing Callum Wilson earlier this summer.

Gordon may be a winger by trade but, as it stands, it would be a surprise if the England international did not lead the line at Villa Park when the new season gets under way next week.
