    Willian

    The goal that was coming has come. Willian swings in a free-kick which is missed by everyone, including Magpies keeper Tim Krul, as Chelsea level. Ramires tried to get a head to the free-kick and, even though he didn't, put Krul off enough for the keeper to miss the ball altogether.

    It could be a matter of time before Chelsea score. Cesc Fabregas pings a ball to release Pedro and he is in on goal but skies his effort over on-rushing keeper Tim Krul and over the Magpies goal.

    Eden Hazard does what he does best. He twists, turns and jinks his way into a shooting position inside the area only for his effort to be blocked by Chancel Mbemba.

    Ramires

    What a rocket from Ramires. The sub gathers a ball from Eden Hazard just outside the area and rifles a shot into the top corner. That should create a few nerves in the Newcastle camp. Game on.

    Kevin Mbabu shoves Eden Hazard and knocks the Chelsea winger off balance and to the floor as the Belgian tries to kink down the right flank. The referee doesn't give the visitors a foul bringing wry smiles from the Chelsea bench.

    Radamel Falcao is one-on-one with Tim Krul after latching on to a cross but see's his effort saved by the spread-eagled stopper. The goal would have been disallowed for offside but I'm not sure Falcao or Krul knew that.

    Chelsea winger Pedro might not have known who Kevin Mbabu was before the game but he certainly will now. The Spanish international again fails to get the better of the Swiss youngster and refuses to shake his hand when Mbabu offers to help him up off the ground.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic controls a ball on his chest only for Chelsea right-back Branislav Ivanovic to catch his fellow Serbian with a high kick. Ivanovic is rightly booked.

    So can Chelsea stage a comeback to win? The stats don't suggest they can as  the Blues haven't won a league game that they have been losing by 2+ goals since Aug 2002 (3-2 at Charlton).
