LIFT OFF AT ST JAMES PARK INSIDE TWO MINUTES!!
What a start from the Magpies, with Anthony Gordon blitzing the Blues' backline on his return to the starting XI.
Gordon's run down the left sees him charge into the box, but he's denied by a terrific recovery sliding challenge from Moises Caicedo.
However, Chelsea fail to clear the danger, and Romeo Lavia is caught in possession on the edge of his own box.
Newcastle work the ball to the right, and a low ball in from Jacob Murphy is turned home by an unmarked Tonali at the back post.

Bournemouth star Alex Scott played most of the first half against Aston Villa with a broken jaw, it has been revealed.
The 21-year-old went down seven minutes into the match following a collision with Tyrone Mings.
He was substituted at half-time, but scans have revealed that Scott has a displaced fracture and will undergo surgery.
A Bournemouth statement read: "He will miss the remainder of the season and have the full support of the club and its medical team throughout the recovery process."

Ollie Watkins has delivered a message to talkSPORT co-host Gabby Agbonlahor - telling the former striker to let him have his moment!
The 29-year-old scored the only goal of the game at Bournemouth to help fire Aston Villa to a 1-0 win.
In doing so, Watkins has overtaken Agbonlahor to become the club's all-time top scorer in the Premier League.
Watkins had been level with Agbonlahor on 74 goals heading into the clash at the Vitality Stadium.
Commenting on his achievement, the 29-year-old, who poked fun at Agbonlahor, said: "Gabby, it's been a long time you've held that record.
"But it's now time to pass it over to me, let me have my moment!
"But it's an unbelievable achievement and I'm really pleased."

Aston Villa have held on for a crucial three points!
Ollie Watkins' strike in first half stoppage-time has proved to be the difference at the Vitality Stadium.
Daniel Jebbison thought he had rescued a point for the hosts in the closing seconds, but he somehow headed over the bar from two yards out.
The result has seen Bournemouth drop down into tenth spot following Brentford and Brighton's victories earlier in the day.
While their European dreams have taken a huge hit, Villa have guaranteed themselves of at least a UEFA Conference League spot next term.
Now up to sixth in the table, they are only behind fifth-placed Chelsea, who occupy the final Champions League spot, on goal difference.

He manages to divert his effort beyond Kepa Arrizabalaga, and he is now the club's all-time top Premier League goalscorer.
Sorry, Gabby!

Incredible save!
Marco Asensio sends a ball out to Lucas Digne.
The Frenchman has time and space to deliver a ball into the box, and curls a perfect cross to the far post.It is begging to be put away.
There is Boubacar Kamara to meet it, and he thinks he's surely scored, but Kepa Arrizabalaga sticks out his left leg and makes a stunning stop.

Some concern here for Alex Scott.
Tyrone Mings takes a heavy touch and raises his elbow to try and block off the Bournemouth man.
There is no swinging motion from the centre-back, so VAR checks and clears it, but Scott needs quite a bit of treatment.
However, after a lengthy stoppage, he is good to carry on.

That brings an end to the four 3pm Premier League games, and it's been a bad day for Manchester City .
The Citizens couldn't beat already-relegated Southampton at St Mary's, with the Saints digging in for a 0-0 draw.
That result means they move off 11 points and can't be the worst team in Premier League history.
That opens the door for Chelsea and Newcastle United in the race for the Champions League, with those two playing tomorrow, knowing they can leap above Man City.
Meanwhile, Brentford and Brighton sealed huge wins as they look to get into the Europa Conference League.
Fulham, though, were beaten 3-1 by Everton all but ending their hopes of European football.

Manchester City have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of Champions League football because Erling Haaland starts.

Haaland leads the line for the Citizens as they take on Southampton, and he will be hoping to bag a few goals.
The striker hasn't played a Premier League game since Brighton in March.

However, the club do hold the option to extend his contract by a further year through to the summer of 2027.
