    Quite entertaining, but no real 'gasp' moments.

  2. Postpublished at 45+2 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    It's played in by Matty Longstaff - the ball eventually falls to Fabian Schar who hooks an effort towards goal which the defence clears.

    Somebody was offside anyway in that passage of play.

  3. YELLOW CARDpublished at 45 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    (Minimum) Two minutes of your added.

    Newcastle have a free-kick about 25 yards out on the right after Fikayo Tomori takes down Miguel Almiron.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 44 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Ciaran Clark goes into the book for taking down Willian.

    The defender knew the card was coming out. It was one of those.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 43 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Early bath (shower) for Ross Barkley.

    The midfielder, who scored twice for England against Bulgaria, limps off and is replaced by Mateo Kovacic.

    How much might that unplanned sub affect Chelsea?

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Ref Andre Marriner gets hit on the head by the ball but then delays his fall to the ground.

    The official is OK and bows to the crowd.

    Hilarity over.

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Matty Longstaff, who has been sitting fairly deep, gets one in the face from Mason Mount. All accidental.

    Drop ball.

    The ball hits the top of the wall.

    Talking of 'The Wall' - tune into BBC One at 20:30 BST.

    It'll make Danny Dyer happy.

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    The Blues now have a free-kick as Ciaran Clark takes down Mason Mount about three yards outside the area.

    Willian over it.

  11. Postpublished at 30 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Jamaal Lascelles' arm meets the back of Tammy Abraham's head as the Chelsea player was back-pedalling to meet an aerial ball.

    The England man hits the deck, but no action is taken by the ref.

  12. Postpublished at 26 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Joelinton pinches the ball from Fikayo Tomori.

    It travels along a string of black and white players on the edge of the area before Allan Saint-Maximin finds the head of the Brazilian forward who cranes his neck to meet the ball - he nods wide. Tricky chance.

    At the other end, Willian fires a foot or two wide. On the angle.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 23 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Marcos Alonso goes through the back legs of DeAndre Yedlin, moments after the full-back had the ball legally taken away from him by the USA player.

    Andre Marriner decides it's card o'clock.

  14. DECENT SAVE!published at 20 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Callum Hudson-Odoi squeezes a square ball through to Mason Mount in the area.

    His England colleague turns and smacks a shot towards goal that Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka pats away.

    The Blues are on top here.

  15. Yikes!published at 16 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle come close to spoiling their great start when Martin Dubravka's attempted clearance comes off the foot of Tammy Abraham, but the ball is wide of the goal.

    Moments later, Willian heads Abraham's cross from the left about a foot wide of the far post.

    A good minute for 'Frank Lampard's Chelsea'.

    Allan Saint-Maximin is causing Chelsea's defence a lot of problems.

    He once again breaks with speed and lays the ball to striker Joelinton, who checks back inside near the edge of the area but loses possession.

    Now then.

    Newcastle's Miguel Almiron goes on one of his exploratory runs towards the penalty area before he goes down under the challenge of Marcos Alonso. Was it a legal challenge?

    The replay seemed to suggest so.

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Chelsea are on 'Saint-Maximin' alert.

    The Frenchman tries to shift the ball past Willian on the left but is brought down and wins a free-kick.

    The Blues clear the dead ball danger.

    Ross Barkley threatens as he dances into the Newcastle area before he goes down under a challenge - ref Andre Marriner waves play-on.

    Mini protests from the boys in blue.
