The opportunities keep coming. Joe Willock shot wide from 20 yards, an obvious deflection that went unnoticed by the referees.

Chelsea is unsettled. Christopher Nkunku almost makes the same mistake with the next free kick and shows how quickly he can recover by coming back in time after letting Alexander Isak escape again.

Another soft, soft goal for Chelsea in a nightmare three minutes! First, they leave Alexander Isak all alone after a free kick, switch off and let the striker stroll down the left side. His deflected cross was supposed to be cleared, but Joe Willock got the ball with his head and Axel Disasi couldn't clear his foot and shot into his own net.

Alexander Isak scores against Chelsea for the second time in four days!

It's a terrible moment for the visitors. They let the ball pass around on the edge of the penalty area without the necessary care and attention, Renato Veiga receives a hospital pass. Joelinton pushes him and lets the ball spin freely, allowing Sandro Tonali to slide in and set up his Swedish striker. Isak finds the bottom corner with typical aplomb.

Lively play from Joao Felix, switching in and out to outwit two retreating defenders and finally place a shot between them. There's too much momentum in the effort, but Felix's sparkling feet look in good condition.

And now follows Sean Longstaff Schar, whose name has spiraled out of control as he rattles Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The midfielder is now 27 years old – not the card he would have wanted.

A good fight is brewing on this site between Joelinton and Axel Disasi, two big and strong personalities who have some entertaining duels at the start.

On the other hand, Fabian Schar is a little late as Christopher Nkunku raged while the Chelsea striker quickly advanced on the right. In the book goes the captain of Newcastle.

It looks like Joao Felix will play as Chelsea's number ten, just behind Christopher Nkunku, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Mudryk providing width on either side. Joelinton is one of Newcastle's front three players and not in the midfield role we have seen him in more often over the last few seasons.

Enzo Fernandez's attempt to switch play goes wrong, the thrown pass is misplaced and misjudged, leaving Mykhailo Mudryk far too much to do.

Almost a start! Renato Veiga passes to Marc Cucurella's beautiful cut-back, and only Sandro Tonali's protruding leg prevents the Chelsea midfielder from hitting the net. Even with a leg kick from the Italian it's not far away, Nick Pope is well beaten.
