Newcastle vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Willock gives Magpies win

54 mins: Newcastle have started the second half as the much better side. They’ve kept Chelsea penned in and have intensified their pressing.

Chalobah manages to clear the ball up to Pulisic but he can’t find a way through the midfield. Suffocating stuff from the home team.

51 mins: Chances! Trippier puts a cross into the box that Guimaraes keeps alive at the byline. He nods the ball down to where Chris Wood is waiting but the striker is closed down by Mendy and the ball comes loose.

Newcastle recover and recycle the ball with Trippier flicking it back into the box for Almiron. He squares it to Longstaff who shoots first time and lifts the ball over the crossbar!

48 mins: Miguel Almiron nicks the ball and slides it down the right side of the penalty area where Joelinton collects the ball. He dances inside of Jorginho and fizzes a cross into the box.

It’s a pacey pass that flies over everyone before dropping to a defender and Chelsea work it clear.

Kick off: Christian Pulisic has been introduced by Graham Potter to replace Cesar Azpilicueta. Conor Gallagher and Lewis Hall are now playing as wingbacks for Chelsea.

Newcastle get the match back underway.

James Maddison insisted he should be fit for the World Cup despite an injury scare in their 2-0 win at West Ham.

The midfielder, called into Gareth Southgate’s England squad on Thursday, went down holding his leg in the 23rd minute.

After receiving treatment on the pitch the midfielder, who had opened the scoring with his seventh goal of the season, gingerly left the field.

With England’s first match just nine days away, even a relatively minor injury could have meant Maddison missing out in Qatar.

As it stands Newcastle are dropping down to fourth placed following Tottenham’s 4-3 victory over Leeds earlier today. If they manage to go on to win this match they will move back ahead of Antonio Conte’s Spurs.

45+2 mins: Goalless at half-time. Nothing to separate the two teams as they head into the break but it’s been an interesting contest.

Chelsea haven’t been close to their best but they’ve managed to keep Newcastle relatively quiet. The hosts have enjoyed the better periods of possession but there hasn’t been many shots.

An opening goal may change the intensity of the match.

42 mins: Fabian Schar flicks the ball over the top of the Chelsea defence but his pass is too heavy for Almiron’s run in behind. The ball skips away from the winger and Mendy comes out to claim it.

39 mins: Newcastle win corner that gets played short to Kieran Trippier. He swings the ball in from the left and looks to pick out Dan Burn but the cross curls straight into the arms of Edouard Mendy.
