Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).
90+5'
FULL TIME. A very harsh scoreline on Newcastle in a game that was thrilling from start to finish.
90+4'
Terry joins him in the book, though I am not sure why.
90+4'
Taylor goes into the book for a wild challenge on Sturridge. That was very poor indeed.
90+3'
GOAL! Newcastle 0-3 Chelsea! Sturridge finally gets the goal his performance has merited when taking the ball inside Sammy Ameobi and placing an effort into the far corner.
90+1'
We will have four added minutes.
90'
Steven Taylor has been forced off due to injury and Newcastle have made all their substitutions so they are a man down.
89'
GOAL! Newcastle 0-2 Chelsea! Torres races away and sees an effort blocked but he regains the ball and passes for Kalou, who sees Krul get a hand to his shot, but not enough contact to stop it going in.
87'
Simpson goes into the book.
87'
Guthrie lashes a shot over the bar from range. Cech was never in trouble.
86'
Sturridge gets a pass from Torres and tries to pull the ball back but finds the legs of Krul to be an impenetrable barrier once again.
85'
Sturridge gets frustrated and boots the ball away after a decision goes against Chelsea. A silly booking.
84'
Shola Ameobi skews his shot wide of the post after getting on the end of a ball over the top.
83'
Incredible stuff. Sturridge through on goal again but Krul stands up and then makes a fine save to deny the striker, yet again. The Dutchman is winning that duel comprehensively.
81'
Newcastle hit the bar! Shola pulls down a long pass and with Luiz standing off, he rifles the ball against the woodwork. Sammy follows up with a shot but sees it saved by Cech.
80'
Sturridge produces a great reverse pass down the line to find Torres but the move peters out for Chelsea.
79'
Chelsea make a change with Fernando Torres coming on for Drogba.
78'
In the same incident, Shola Ameobi caught Romeu in the back of the head and he looks a bit dazed. Romeu off for treatment.
77'
Ba challenges for a long throw from Ryan Taylor and falls to the floor after being caught on the back of the head by Terry's elbow. Newcastle want a penalty but that would have been incredibly generous.
76'
Stat from Infostrada: "Salomon Kalou makes his 100th appearance for the club as a substitute – the first Chelsea player to ever reach this milestone."
