Bit of a late flurry from Newcastle, who have nothing to lose now but their dignity and their goal difference. Dwight Gayle’s shot is deflected behind for a corner, and Matt Ritchie’s first delivery wins a second chance. Ciaran Clark meets the second corner with a firm header, but it’s well off-target.
FULL-TIME
Chelsea 3-1 Newcastle
Comfortable enough for Chelsea, who go level on points with second-placed Manchester United and sit eight behind leaders Manchester City.
