32'
Lampard gets a header away before Anelka is penalised for a late foul. Free-kick to the visiting team. In fact, Anelka was done for a handball.
31'
Chelsea with almost 70% of possession, but they have not managed to turn that advantage into a lead in this match.
30'
Ferguson's cross is cleared by Alex. Newcastle continue to ask questions of the Chelsea defence whenever they can.
29'

Newcastle well in this game, it must said. They hold a high line as Ivanovic is deemed to be offside.
28'
Great pass by McEachran to Cole. His cross is almost deflected into his own net by Enrique as he clears with the aid of a team-mate.
27'
Simpson with a shot from distance. Wide of the target. Cech watches that shot sail well wide of the goal, but worth trying his luck.
26'
Ferguson on the dash. Good run and cross, but Alex intervenes. Decent defending. Newcastle venturing forward.
25'
Chelsea would certainly like to secure second place in the table. Ivanovic's cross is cleared by Coloccini. Good defending.
24'
Disappointing from Ryan Taylor, who manages to lift the ball out of play and back in. Goalkick to the home team.
23'
Simpson on the ball for Newcastle out wide. Throws over a cross, but nodded behind his own by Lampard. Corner to Newcastle.
22'
Chelsea on the attack as Torres races away from Coloccini, but the visiting side continue to defend stoutly.
21'
Cole on the ball for Chelsea before Anelka picks up. He throws a cross to the back post, but Krul comes to collect. Good take.
20'
Lampard's cross deflect into the arms of Krul. Decent play by Chelsea, but Newcastle survive. Has been a lively opening to this match.
19'
Alex fires a volley wide of the target from distance after Newcastle struggled to clear from Lampard's delivery.
18'
Barton guilty of a late one on Lampard, who is going to throw a free-kick into the visiting box.
17'
Chelsea keeping possession at the back. Terry launches a long one, but Enrique is on hand to nod the ball back to Krul with Torres lurking.
16'
Ramires takes out Simpson with a really late challenge. Lucky to avoid a booking there. Well late with that one. Gets a talking to.

Ball flies into the area. Cech comes out to try to collect it, but misses it under pressure from Ameobi. Chelsea get the ball out. Sloppy goalkeeping.
14'
McEachran fouls Ferguson and Newcastle have a free-kick out wide. Ryan Taylor to take this one.
13'
Chelsea taken aback by that. Cole and Anelka try to get a move going, but Newcastle have enough bodies back to deal with the attack.
12'
More than a touch of good fortune about that goal, but Newcastle will take that all day long.
