90+5'
And that is it - an astonishing comeback from Fulham to win 5-2, and a hat-trick from Dempsey.
90+3'
Ryan Taylor with a free-kick... way over the bar, to sarcastic cheers from the home supporters.
90+1'
Fulham change: Kerim Frei on for Dempsey.
90'
There will be five minutes of time added on.
89'
HAT-TRICK FOR DEMPSEY! 5-2! Another classy finish. Zamora holds the ball up and twists to send him through with an aerial ball. The American heads the the ball on to stay ahead of chasing defenders and scores low past Krul.
88'
Time running out for the Toon, who are seeing plenty of the ball now.
87'
Excellent tricky play from Gutierrez to earn space and shoot into a host of bodies inside the Fulham penalty area. The home defence boots clear. Newcastle change: Ryan Taylor on for Best.
85'
BEN ARFA SCORES FOR NEWCASTLE! 4-2 to Fulham now - likely a mere consolation. The playmaker advances into the box from the right, fooling Riise to come inside and hit a low left-footed shot inside the near post.
84'
Newcastle change: Dan Gosling on for Cabaye.
83'
Johnson in an offside position as Zamora lifts a pass to send Dempsey through... but the American tries a flying backheel to put Johnson in - the ball was just behind him - and the offside flag is therefore raised.
82'
Bullet strike from Gutierrez, but it is straight down the middle and into the arms of the waiting Stockdale.
81'
Fulham content to sit back and defend their three-goal lead. Newcastle working the ball to little effect.
79'
Simpson with a cross straight behind the goal from the right. He had few options in the middle.
78'
Cabaye with a loose pass. Newcastle win it back then give the ball away again.
77'
Newcastle had won all six PL matches when leading at half-time this season - a better record than any other club. They are set to lose that record.
76'
Newcastle change: James Perch on for Guthrie.
75'
Riise with an air-kick then falls over the legs of the sprawling Gutierrez to earn a free-kick.
74'
Fulham's substitute-led fightback is a surprise for another reason: before the match they had used fewer substitutes than any other team in the PL this season (44, now 46).
73'
Ameobi puts the ball into the back of the net, but he is offside. He should have gotten back in line with the defence as the ball was stabbed through for him.
