Play by play
- 90'
Five-star stuff from Chelsea. No star stuff from Newcastle.
- 90'
Into added time. Not much of it in fact. Nine goals in a week for Chelsea and they have a famous win over Newcastle, who sorely missed Alan Shearer and couldn't afford the sending-off of O'Brien.
- 90'
Veron gets away from Lua Lua and off go Chelsea before Cole fouls.
- 89'
Party time in the stands. Soccernet will be avoiding the District Line until it's safe.
- 88'
Bridge's ball finds Duff offside. A final sub for Ranieri. Off comes Glen Johnson and on comes the massive Robert Huth.
- 86'
Lovely pass finds Cole in space but his cross is poor. Given claims ahead of Gudjohnsen.
- 85'
The Blue faithful in raptures, while the Toon fans must be dreading their long trip home.
- 83'
This really has been very easy for Chelsea.
- 83'
Lovely cross from Bridge and on comes Gudjohnsen to head home unmarked. 5-0!
- 82'
Terrible ball from Jenas. Last year's Young Player of the Year has suffered today.
- 81'
Bernard offside. Half-hearted complaints. The Toon eyeing a soothing shower and a consoling beer. Though maybe those are off the menu for them these days.
- 79'
Long ball from Hughes. Out comes Cudicini. An easy afternoon for him. He should have worn an overcoat. He'll catch his death.
- 78'
Chelsea romping home. Newcastle have been thoroughly trounced.
- 78'
Duff on the run after seizing on a poor Given clearance. He beats Caldwell and smashes his shot into the back of the net. 4-0 Chelsea!

Off goes free-kick 'specialist'Robert. On comes Lua Lua.
- 76'
Johnson's cross is just a bit too high for Duff's head.
- 75'
Gudjohnsen on the break slides a good ball across goal. No-one gets to it.

Nice ball in from Johnson. Cole's cross is poor but Bramble misses it. Lampard on his own but caught by surprise and doesn't get a shot in.
- 73'
Cole gets a chance to shoot but his shot is weak.
- 71'
Robert gets another free-kick. Not as bad as the rest but still knocked away.
- 71'
Makelele sweeps up in midfield. Off goes Duff. The ball pinging around as time ticks on. Veron slipped in by Gudjohnsen and he smashes wide. Shades of Robert from Veron's shooting boots this afternoon.
- 70'
Lampard booms a shot but Caldwell deflects it away. Chelsea can take their time again.
- 68'
Crespo gets a Stamford Bridge round of applause. Robert gets the bird for another wasteful free-kick. Someone else should really be taking it.
- 67'
A poor cross from Johnson. Nice afro though. Sub Gudjohnsen will come on for Hernan Crespo.
- 65'
A number of passes from Chelsea. Newcastle chase shadows until Hughes steps in to control. He then loses the ball.
