Ben Godfrey hacks the ball all the way up the pitch.
Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle
Newcastle bring on top scorer Callum Wilson, finally, for the injured Allan Saint-Maximin, who is grimacing as he walks off.
Ryan Fraser was meant to be the man replaced before ASM did the universal rolly hands gesture.
Chelsea 1-1 Everton
Three of the five additional minutes have already gone.
Can Everton see it out?
Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle
Allan Saint-Maximin can't believe it. He can't run and the ball comes to him. His pass is cut out and Liverpool *just* keep the ball in play.
Chelsea 1-1 Everton
Thiago Silva is playing as an auxiliary centre forward now.
Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle
Allan Saint-Maximin has been carrying an injury for about 15 minutes now. He asked to come off a few minutes ago but I don't think the ball has been out of play since.
Chelsea 1-1 Everton
FIVE minutes added on.
Where has that come from??
Chelsea 1-1 Everton
A final change for Everton.
Tyler Onyango on for Anthony Gordon, who created the equaliser.
Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle
Roberto Firmino's first touch is a shot off target from a corner after Joel Matip missed a header. I don't think Firmino was expecting it.

Standing ovation for Mohamed Salah as he's replaced by Roberto Firmino - making his return from six weeks out through injury.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is off for Naby Keita.
Chelsea 1-1 Everton
Can't print what Hakim Ziyech says as Trevoh Chalobah sends an aimless pass straight through to Jordan Pickford.

Nice footwork from Mohamed Salah but he curls high and wide.
Chelsea 1-1 Everton
Five to go.
It's going to need another late show from Chelsea.
Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle
Jonjo Shelvey steps up and curls the free-kick just wide of the top corner. Alisson was angry with his wall for not following his instructions.
Chelsea 1-1 Everton
Frustration beginning to show from the Chelsea supporters.
Sub Saul Niguez, who is yet to set Stamford Bridge alight since his summer loan move from Atletico Madrid, sends a cross all the way over the bar.
Thomas Tuchel is not impressed, taking a long swig from his water bottle.
Might have something stronger in it, actually.
Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle
Promising for Newcastle as Jordan Henderson fouls Ryan Fraser 25 yards from goal, fairly central. Henderson is booked too.
Chelsea 1-1 Everton
As it stands, the top three have all played 17 games.
Manchester City - 41 points
Liverpool - 40 points
Chelsea - 37 points
Those sides have a combined goal difference of +92.
Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gets the ball from Mohamed Salah, bursts into the box and shoots high over the bar from an impossible angle.
Chelsea 1-1 Everton
Oscar-worthy acting from Ben Godfrey, standing on the touchline pretending he doesn't know where the ball is.
It's right there next to his foot.
Godfrey looks around as Michael Oliver tells him to get on with it, before putting his thumbs up to say, "Thanks ref, didn't see it was there."
Chelsea 1-1 Everton
What a header, WHAT A SAVE!
Ross Barkley's outswinging corner is met by Thiago Silva's thumping header which is arrowing towards the bottom corner but Jordan Pickford shows superb reactions to palm the ball away.
