Nearly a second for the Swans.

Former Chelsea midfielder Jack Cork's strike, which hits the ground and arrows towards the top corner, is saved well by the flying Asmir Begovic. That save keeps his side in the match.

Everton almost get a second.

Winger Aaron Lennon cuts inside and lets fly with a low shot that Heurelho Gomes saves, and with Romelu Lukaku closing in, the Brazilian goalkeeper has to show sharp reactions to push the ball away.

Crystal Palace supporter Eddie Izzard completes a lap of honour at half time.

Lovely play from Chelsea to open up the Swansea defence. Pedro finally comes to the party with a nice ball across the six-yard box, Alexandre Pato is on the end of the and only has to touch the ball into the net, but tries a clever flick which doesn't come off and the ball rolls wide.

Southampton have been pushed onto the back foot since the restart but they look content enough to let Newcastle have it. Do Newcastle look like scoring? No. 

Paul Watts-Othen: Villa almost certainly down now, tbf it's been a stay of execution since Dean Saunders left.

Robert Thompson: Now that we are pretty much 'officially' down, can we please start playing U21s!? This squad has no desire, no passion #avfc, external

Ross: If Villa played Newcastle I think they would both lose they are that bad, even though it's not possible.

Alexandre Pato rounds Lukasz Fabianski and has the ball in the net but the linesman frantically waves his flag and referee Andre Mariner rules the goal out.

The Brazilian is adjudged to have control the ball with his arm, but it looks like the top of the shoulder to me. Harsh decision.

Former Spurs striker on Final Score

“You look at that table and see the latest score from Newcastle’s game at Southampton, it looks like Newcastle are joining Aston Villa. 

"If you look at the games left, they’re running out of road.” 

Bakary Sako whistles a shot at the hands of John Ruddy but the big man had already been flagged for offside. 

Former Newcastle keeper Fraser Forster almost helps his old side out with a hashed clearance straight to Moussa Sissoko but he's still a good 40 yards out - and he slices his shot wide. Newcastle need an early goal to get their show back on the road.

Chelsea have started the better in the first half, they are out of the traps like a greyhound.

The Blues force two corners in quick succession, but Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is out early and confidently to pluck the ball out of the air and relieve the pressure on his defence.

Excellent goalkeeping.

How good has Jefferson Montero been for Swansea so far? Well, just have a look at his heatmap compared to that of his opposite number, World Cup winner Pedro. 

Montero (left) has been torching his way down the left flank, seeing plenty of the ball and regularly getting into advanced positions near the byline.

Pedro (right), by contrast, has been peripheral, with most of his few touches coming in his own half.

Mick the sad Geordie: I forecast the failure of Newcastle the day they appointed the wally with the brolly so its been a long and painful death.

Daniel Stokell: Maybe it's just better for Newcastle to be relegated after this poor performance they can go down and rebuild and potentially come back stronger.  

Ken, Newcastle: I'd shed a tear if it wasn't for laughing at NUFC's defending. See ya Premier League. It's been painful.

Whistles peep, we are back under way around the grounds...

Paul Franks
Presenter, BBC WM at Villa Park

"It's been pathetic. It's absolutely diabolical. Villa have put as team out there to contain. There's no goal threat or intent. In midfield they haven't got hold of the ball and have been sloppy. 

"The fans wanted to see something and they have gone out there to try and sit back and hold on to a 0-0."

It's 0-0 between Crystal Palace and Norwich City at half time.

As it stands, Aston Villa will be relegated for the first time in 29 years if the scores stay the same.

Villa are one time European Cup, seven time First Division and seven time FA Cup winners. 

Fallen giants.

Nigel Barnes: Stones! Could have put it out for throw and we go in 1-0. He needs to be told!! Completely unnecessary!

Dave P: Everton surrendering a lead in injury time? Never seen that before…
