\"Cisse2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Going into Saturday\u2019s match at St. James\u2019 Park, Chelsea squatted imperiously atop the Premier League. Undefeated after fourteen games, and with thirty-six points thanks to eleven wins and three draws, they remained six points clear of second place. While a\u00a0revitalised Manchester City \u2013 last season\u2019s champions, and Chelsea\u2019s main contenders for this season\u2019s Premier League crown \u2013 had closed the gap somewhat over recent weeks, making a genuine title race increasingly plausible, still the main topic of conversation concerning Chelsea regarded the possibility of their going the whole season unbeaten.<\/p>\n

Newcastle, meanwhile, have been resurgent after taking only four points from their first seven games \u2013 extending an abysmal run in the league which began as far back as last Christmas. Finding themselves in the relegation zone, and turning to a group of young players including Ayoze P\u00e9rez, Sammy Ameobi, Mehdi Abeid, and Paul Dummett, the side then took a full fifteen points from their next five games: a sequence which included victories over Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. But this remarkable run\u00a0\u2013 which briefly lifted Newcastle as high as fourth-place \u2013 risked faltering, following a single-goal defeat at West Ham and a draw at Burnley across their last two league matches.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Mourinho had never achieved a league victory over Newcastle at St. James\u2019 Park, witnessing two defeats and two draws in four previous visits. Mourinho has seen his side win at Newcastle in the League Cup: Chelsea emerged victorious by virtue of two goals scored in extra time in the fourth round in 2004; and won through thanks to a\u00a0single goal in the quarter-finals in 2006. But with an FA Cup defeat at the ground in 2004\/05 also against him, Mourinho has a poor history\u00a0at St James\u2019. While Mourinho\u2019s record against Newcastle had been noted in the press \u2013 and Mourinho himself mentioned it when suggesting that Newcastle, along with many other teams in the league,\u00a0try harder than usual against Chelsea\u00a0\u2013 still Chelsea went into the game as strong favourites.<\/p>\n

Provisionally, the two sides lined up on Saturday utilising similar 4-2-3-1 formations:<\/p>\n

\"NewChels1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The pattern of much of the game emerged through the opening stages, with Newcastle\u00a0eager to sit back and defend, ceding Chelsea the ball, but willing to counter with pace. Defending, Newcastle played with two banks of four; with P\u00e9rez harrying and closing down the angles across the opposition back-line; and with Sissoko pushing to his left as often as he dropped deeper to provide an extra man in the midfield.<\/p>\n

\"abH75owale\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thus without the ball \u2013 and over the course of the match, Chelsea held 66% of the possession \u2013 Newcastle reverted to a fairly deep-lying 4-4-2. With the ball, Chelsea\u2019s 4-2-3-1 was entirely reconfigured. Costa remained at the head of the attack, with Hazard and Willian providing support towards the edges of Newcastle\u2019s area. Mikel played a static role\u00a0in the centre of the pitch. But Chelsea\u2019s full backs pushed high up the flanks, with Ivanovic adopting an especially advanced position, and making surging runs down Chelsea\u2019s right; while Fabregas and Oscar dropped and roamed either side of Mikel, serving as Chelsea\u2019s twin playmakers. In fact, when Chelsea\u2019s buildup play broke down, and Newcastle were able to clear the ball or mount a brief attack, often\u00a0it was Fabregas and Oscar who swept up in the wide areas behind their side\u2019s full backs.<\/p>\n

\"abH75fqakA\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the first half, with Chelsea on top, theirs was a very fluid system: Fabregas and Oscar were able to come from deep, with Oscar filling in the gaps behind the forwards; while Hazard occasionally moved from his position on the left of the attack to stretch the play and double up with Ivanovic wide on Chelsea\u2019s right. Chelsea\u2019s best moments of the first half came when Willian found space drifting inside from the right, and twice shot narrowly wide from the edge of the area.<\/p>\n

Though Chelsea were struggling to create\u00a0clear chances,\u00a0Newcastle resisted the temptation to drop too deep, and Sissoko and P\u00e9rez provided the semblance of an attacking outlet, still Newcastle struggled to threaten the Chelsea goal via quick breaks. With\u00a0Nemanja Mati\u0107 out of the game owing to suspension, an in-form Moussa Sissoko had sounded like Newcastle\u2019s best bet for forcing a goal \u2013 but Sissoko struggled to assert himself on the game. The ceaseless energy and intelligent movement of P\u00e9rez proved more\u00a0productive, and he broke dangerously\u00a0down Chelsea\u2019s left after one long throw from goalkeeper Rob Elliot; but Newcastle\u2019s best chance of the first half came upon a rare spell of possession. Sammy Ameobi played a sharp pass to P\u00e9rez on the edge of the Chelsea area, and P\u00e9rez slipped the ball through to Jack Colback, breaking through from the midfield. However, Colback was closed down effectively by Thibaut Courtois, who used his foot to block Colback\u2019s effort.<\/p>\n

Carrying an injury, Elliot was forced off at half-time, and twenty-one-year-old goalkeeper Jak Alnwick emerged to make his Premier League debut. Yet before Chelsea were able to test him, in the fifty-seventh minute, Newcastle took the lead. Sammy Ameobi \u2013 after a first half in which he had languished by the left touchline, appearing overawed \u2013 grew into the game, and whipped several low balls across the Chelsea goal. When Gary Cahill failed to deal with one of these, only slicing the ball beyond Courtois, Papiss Ciss\u00e9 \u2013 brought onto the pitch minutes earlier in place of R\u00e9my Cabella \u2013 was in the right place to slide past the flailing keeper.<\/p>\n

Chelsea responded by replacing Oscar with\u00a0Andr\u00e9 Sch\u00fcrrle, whose immediate impact was to scythe through Colback, the worst challenge of the game earning him a yellow card. Then Didier Drogba arrived in place of Willian, and Felipe Luis replaced Azpilicueta. Drogba immediately went to the head of the attack, alongside Costa but with the latter occasionally dropping off into a\u00a0secondary role; and with a naturally attacking, left-footed left back, Chelsea began to focus their play increasingly down their left hand side. Still they struggled to break Newcastle down, until with little more than ten minutes remaining, Eden Hazard struck against the Newcastle post. After strong tackles from Ameobi and Colback saw Newcastle gain and regain possession, Sissoko was played\u00a0into space and \u2013 just as three defenders and Courtois closed him down \u2013 managed to poke the ball across the area to an unmarked Ciss\u00e9, who slotted in for his and Newcastle\u2019s second.<\/p>\n

Typically, Chelsea responded by throwing a tantrum.\u00a0Sch\u00fcrrle could have seen a second yellow card for an attempted trip on P\u00e9rez, and now Fabregas \u2013 booked for hacking down P\u00e9rez in the build to Newcastle\u2019s second \u2013 could also have received a second booking, for laying siege to Martin Atkinson after the referee penalised Costa. As the temperature soared, Atkinson refused Colback a free kick when his attempt to win a header was impeded; ignored a dive by Drogba as he challenged with Coloccini; but then was forced to act when Steven Taylor took out\u00a0Sch\u00fcrrle as Chelsea stormed forward. Taylor had been booked in the first half, and was duly dismissed for a second bookable offence. As Mike Williamson replaced Ameobi, an utter lack of marking from the ensuing free kick \u2013 a lofted ball courtesy of Fabregas \u2013 allowed Drogba to head in and reduce the deficit.<\/p>\n

At this point, a man down and with six minutes of normal time remaining, the feeling was that Newcastle would fold, and that Chelsea would secure at least an equaliser. Then Martin Atkinson absurdly decided to add six minutes of extra time: a brazen corruption, given that aside from a lengthy celebration after Newcastle\u2019s second, there had been no meaningful stoppages. The Newcastle crowd only co-opted the ball as a form of protest, once the six minutes had been announced; while the ball boys at Newcastle are barely out of infancy, and do nothing but obligingly hand the ball to whomever is nearest.<\/p>\n

And yet, although Chelsea frantically pressed in the twelve minutes they were afforded to salvage the game, only Diego Costa really tested Alnwick \u2013\u00a0his drive forcing the young keeper to push over the bar, conceding one of several late corners. Alnwick handled the ball with confidence, kicked with distance and accuracy, and \u2013 though unwilling to rush off his line for the odd through-pass \u2013 was a solid presence on high balls into the box. So Newcastle saw the game out, and Chelsea suffered their first defeat of the season.<\/p>\n

All in all, despite the lively movement of their playmakers and full backs, and\u00a0the rotational interchange which characterised their play just behind the forwards, Chelsea lacked dynamism in the final third and struggled to break down\u00a0Newcastle\u2019s sturdy defence. Chelsea\u2019s gameplan involved stretching the pitch through their full backs, but this proved ineffective, as quality crosses failed to arrive in the Newcastle box, and Hazard and Willian\u00a0failed to find space between Newcastle\u2019s wide and central defenders.<\/p>\n

Costa was\u00a0expertly marshalled \u2013 both mentally and physically \u2013 by Coloccini, who led the Newcastle effort. Alongside him, Janmaat set the tone with a typically tenacious display, and Dummett and Taylor \u2013 until his sending off \u2013 were solid. Ahead, Colback produced his best performance in a Newcastle shirt: working up and down the pitch, strong in the tackle, and unerring with the ball at his feet. It was important that \u2013 in a way that often hasn\u2019t been characteristic of the side under Pardew \u2013 Newcastle did not\u00a0merely sit and allow Chelsea to come onto them. Though far from proactive, they were willing to commit men forward on the counter, and in a concise and coherent fashion. P\u00e9rez\u2019s work-rate in the attack consistently unsettles opposition defences; and the habit of using Ciss\u00e9 from the bench is proving conducive to the team as well as to both players.<\/p>\n

Newcastle\u2019s task will be to avoid last season\u2019s complacency, and to provide an atmosphere which will continue to encourage its talented youngsters to fight and thrive. Chelsea\u2019s form has been uneven over the last month. The side has struggled in the north-east \u2013 defeat at Newcastle following a goalless draw at Sunderland \u2013 and even against West Brom, they benefited from an offside opening goal and the unjust sending off of Claudio Yacob. After Manchester City\u2019s one-goal victory over Everton, the gap at the top has been reduced to three points, and\u00a0City \u2013 along with their local rivals, an improving Manchester United \u2013 are the league\u2019s form side.<\/p>\n
