That's full-time...#NUFC win 4-1. #CFC back to the drawing board. #NEWCHE
GOAL 2-0 and Vardy dispatches his free kick to the right of the makeshift keeper. #LCFC Game over. To be fair it should have been put to bed a long time ago.
#CFC have been truly woeful in the second half. #NEWCHE
#CFC are down to 10 men as Reece James is given a second booking for fouling Gordon after Sanchez gave him a poor pass & James took a poor touch. #NUFC #NEWCHE
#NUFC 2-1 #CFC Lascelles makes up for an error earlier with a great header. He is completely unmarked & nods in Gordon's right-footed cross from the left. Chelsea just don't track him, but he finishes well. #NEWCHE
Half-time: #NUFC 1-1 #CFC An entertaining, if slightly chaotic, first half. Midfield area is very scrappy at times. But Miley's gorgeous pass to Isak put #NUFC ahead, before Sterling's great free-kick. Really feels like there are more goals in this one. #NEWCHE
3 mins of added time at the end of the first half. #NEWCHE #NUFC #CFC
The game has slowed down a little bit now, with #CFC seeing a little bit more of the ball & looking to get Sterling & Palmer into the game when they can. #NUFC are sitting off a little, looking for moments to pounce on stray passes. #NEWCHE
#NUFC 1-1 #CFC Sterling steps up & almost chops the free-kick, sidefooted, over the wall & into the net. It was to Pope's right, who didn't really move. Not sure he'd have got there, but seemed completely caught out by it. First PL home goal conceded since August. #NEWCHE
#NUFC 1-0 #CFC Superb vision from Miley & a great finish from Isak. Gordon fizzes a ball in from the left, Joelinton gets a touch, it deflects to Miley, who has composure to feed a delicious ball to Isak. Cucurella plays him on, Isak slots it home. #NEWCHE
#CFC have had a fair bit of the ball early on, attempting to pin #NUFC back. But Trippier clears, Isak gets on the end of it, plays a one-two with Guimaraes, who tries to loft him into the box, but Chelsea intercept. #NEWCHE
We're under way at St James' Park, where #NUFC are shooting towards the Leazes End during the first half. #NEWCHE #CFC
