Highlights

90+4

That's it - Newcastle's good form continues.

90'

Added time here - three minutes.

87'

Stoke have conceded five goals in a PL match for the first time since November 2011 – with their 5-0 defeat at Bolton, November 6th 2011. (Infostrada)

83'

Newcastle have been awarded two pens in the same PL match for the first time since Feb 2011 – when they drew 4-4 at home v Arsenal. (Infostrada)

80'

Cisse takes the penalty and he makes it five - and that's his first in the league since April.

79'

Pieters puts a clumsy challenge in on Ben Arfa and that’s a penalty!

75'

Newcastle have scored four goals in a PL match for the first time since their 4-2 home win v Southampton in Feb 2013.

71'

Yohan Cabaye has now scored four goals vs. Stoke in the PL, more than double the amount of goals he has scored against any other PL opposition. (Infostrada)

70'

Stoke have conceded four goals in a top-flight match against Newcastle for the first time since their 5-0 Division One away defeat in April 1969. Infostrada.

GOOOAL!! Cabaye finishes off a great team move by curling one top corner from the edge of the box.

59'

What a signing he has been for Newcastle.

60'

Ben Arfa beat four players but then lumps it against the post – what great play.

56'

Sissoko looks certain to add to his side’s advantage but glances his header wide of goal but Remy is there to bundle over the line to make it 3-1.

53'

Stoke are heavily out-numbered all over the pitch and Newcastle should win this by a few now.

48'

GOOOAL!! Sorensen can only get a weak punch to a corner and the ball falls to Gouffran who fires home from just inside the box.

46'

Cabaye is over the free-kick from 30 yards out and he looks to catch out Sorensen at his near post but it is just wide.

46'

Second period underway.

Hughes shows his frustration at the sending off.

Stoke are the second PL side to have two players sent off in the same Boxing Day fixture since Chelsea in 2007, who had Ashley Cole & Ricardo Carvalho sent off in their 4-4 home draw v Aston Villa. Infostrada

Red mist.
