Ryan Fraser's low cross is gathered by Ederson and then the Manchester City goalkeeper sets his side off on the counter.

The visitors have a two-on-two as Gabriel Jesus stands a cross up but gives Riyad Mahrez little chance of doing anything with it.

Fernandinho takes the armband as he enters the action.

He replaces Rodri.

Chelsea make their second sub. Mateo Kovacic is back after 11 games out and replaces Hakim Ziyech.

Manchester City can further boost their goal difference if they continue to push.

Ruben Dias looks for a second goal but flicks Riyad Mahrez's cross wide.

Assistant Darren Cann won Pointless earlier this year but won't be winning any prizes for that decision.

This game will be forgotten in the mists of time quite easily.

Beauty from Riyad Mahrez, sending a superb volley into the net from Oleksandr Zinchenko's cross.

But the flag is up and it is ruled out for offside.

But is it?? VAR is having a look.

Just past the hour mark, City have had 81% possession in the second half.

Damage limitation job for Newcastle it seems.

Kevin de Bruyne is getting back to his best and the Premier League should be worried.

The Belgium international is free to run to the edge of the box before feeding Joao Cancelo, but the Portuguese doesn't get his shot right on this occasion.

Marcos Alonso smashes the post... but it wouldn't have counted. He's played in by a nutmeg pass from Hakim Ziyech but hammers an effort against the woodwork from a tight angle. The flag was up quicker there.

This is much more like it from Chelsea. Christian Pulisic beats a man on the corner of the box and flashes a low ball across the box which Romain Saiss clears.

You can see what Raheem Sterling was going to do from a mile off when he receives the ball down the left edge of the box.

Yep, he cuts onto his left and looks to curl one towards the far corner but Martin Dubravka gets across to make another flying stop.

Decent spell for Chelsea now - without actually getting into the box. Reece James' cross is headed away by Max Kilman.

Now Mason Mount gets into the box but Ruben Neves clears his cut-back.

City looking for another spectacular goal but Raheem Sterling doesn't catch the volley properly and shanks it wide.

I am looking at Saul Niguez and what position he is playing, he has gone directly in as Trevoh Chalobah was.

Lovely football from Manchester City and they are only thwarted by Martin Dubravka's stunning, reflex save, tipping Gabriel Jesus' header from six yards out over the crossbar.

It keep Newcastle in the game, just about.

Joao Moutinho puts in a corner which Thiago Silva heads clear. It's Wolves on the attack again, like the first half.

The fog has got worse at half-time. Sort of looks like a place where you might see ghosts. I could believe Molinuex being a stadium with some ancient spirits actually.

Miguel Almiron is this gif isn't he?

You're expecting so much when he picks the ball up and runs with it but in the end it's just disappointing.
