Newcastle squander two-goal lead in thrilling 2-2 draw with Chelsea
- On Saturday, Newcastle United were held to a 2-2 draw by Chelsea FC at St James' Park after Nick Woltemade scored twice inside 20 minutes, with Reece James and Joao Pedro leveling in the second half.
- Eddie Howe reshuffled his side from midweek, introducing Tonali, Gordon and Woltemade, who made amends for an own goal last week by scoring after Jacob Murphy's build-up following Sunday’s derby defeat at Sunderland.
- A lengthy VAR review confirmed Nick Woltemade's second goal after an offside check, while referee Andy Madley and VAR dismissed Newcastle's penalty appeals following Trevoh Chalobah's challenge; Chelsea's equaliser came from Robert Sanchez's long ball and Malick Thiaw's slip.
- Newcastle remain in 11th place with 23 points after the draw, extending a mixed league campaign, and Toon fans were left frustrated after surrendering a two-goal lead at St James' Park.
- An extended 10-game clean-sheet drought highlights defensive urgency for Eddie Howe's side as Newcastle travel to Manchester United on Boxing Day and finish at Burnley on Tuesday, December 30.
