Match Commentary
94' Rob Styles blows his whistle, and Newcastle win the game 2-1, a result that leaves the home team in fifth, level on points with fourth-placed Liverpool, but having played a game less than their rivals. But for Chelsea, the defeat leaves Arsenal needing just a point at Spurs to win the League. |
93' One final chance for the visitors, but Terry volleys Geremi's right-wing centre on to the post and away from safety from five yards out. Amazing finish to the game. |
92' Shearer breaks clear down the Chelsea left and delivers a brilliant cross that Melchiot just touches away from Bridges, who was waiting at the back post ready to score. |
