Chelsea vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Mykhailo Mudryk scores brilliant winning goal

Livramento speeds past Sterling down the right and is caught by a late boot from the winger. Yellow card, first of the night, shown to Sterling.

Heading towards the break and Newcastle just edging their way into the game over the last ten minutes or so, without really threatening an equaliser. Chelsea’s threat from the first half-hour has certainly faded away.

Nope, Gordon not happy at all and he’s heading off the pitch. Newcastle sub: Jacob Murphy on for Gordon.

Murphy immediately delivers the free-kick but it’s just ahead of Burn and away for Chelsea to start again from the back.

Moments later an Almiron cross is met by Willock who wants a corner when the ball bounces behind, but he’s not getting one. Better from Newcastle over the last few minutes but still nothing to test Petrovic.

Cucurella makes a block as Gordon lines up a half-volley after the ball drops his way and the left-back celebrates with a pumped fist.

Gordon moments later fouled by the Chelsea left-back and goes down asking for treatment. The physio takes a look but the winger is in a bit of pain here and looking very uncomfortable with a knee issue.

Neat playing out from Chelsea as Petrovic, Chalobah and Caicedo work the ball out past the Newcastle press. The home crowd sound their approval.

Gallagher is then in with a big slide tackle on Isak down the Newcastle right and he earns another cheer. A very positive first half all around, this - hasn’t usually been the case at Stamford Bridge this term.

Enzo Fernandez then feels he’s won the ball to launch a counter-attack but the hasn’t and the ref pulls him back for a foul. Only one shot for Newcastle so far this half.

Gordon and Almiron have swapped flanks for now - Chelsea are attacking relentlessly down their right, so Almiron is now tasked with tracking Cole Palmer and Malo Gusto. Gordon didn’t get much change out of the right-back and certainly wasn’t helping Burn much.

Here’s that early goal: Palmer’s shot, Jackson’s flick of the heel.

Sterling bundles his way forward past two or three challenges in midfield and frees Nicolas Jackson - but this time his shot from range is easily held by Dubravka. The Senegalese forward is being urged to hit it goalward by the fans every time he picks the ball up.

Palmer then tees up Enzo Fernandez who curls one towards the top corner...but it drifts over and wide without harm.

Palmer winds his way into the box but a tackle denies him a shooting chance this time. Chelsea certainly the more dangerous-looking side in this first quarter of the match.

Isak and Gordon try to change that now with a raid down the left but eventually, after a switch in play Newcastle are turned away again.

Palmer with a bit more power behind his shot this time but it’s straight at Dubravka and there’s no striker in place to flick it in. More routine for the shot-stopper.

At the other end Gordon has pulled up in a little pain after a sprint down the left; Gareth Southgate watches on in concerned fashion from the stands. The England boss has his eye on a few here tonight you’d suspect, with the likes of Livramento, Willock, Sterling and Gallagher also all in contention...as well as Palmer, of course.

The Magpies quickly back onto the front foot but they haven’t really gotten the ball into the area with any conviction yet. Lots of flank build-up play, but little in the way of setting Isak free behind the defence or getting attackers from deep to join him.

Against a back four including Chalobah and Cucurella, who haven’t been in the team much over the past few months, you’d expect a quicker start from the visiting side.

Well...out of nothing, a bobbler has somehow ended up in the net!

Cole Palmer picks it up and turns inside, hits one goalward without any kind of pace whatsoever and it somehow trickles past Dubravka into the bottom corner.

Looks like Jackson has just got a flick on the ball and that’ll be his goal - a slight backheel to nudge it inside the post. Chelsea one-up either way!
