Newcastle United remained 10th in the Premier League table following a 3-2 defeat at Chelsea.
Eddie Howe named two changes from the 3-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Kieran Trippier, out with a calf injury, was replaced by Tino Livramento while Miguel Almiron was selected ahead Jacob Murphy on the left-hand side.
Newcastle headed to Stamford Bridge four points and one place above their hosts in the Premier League table but fell behind in the seventh minute when Cole Palmer's shot was flicked home by Nicolas Jackson.
United's evening then took another difficult turn when Anthony Gordon was forced off with a knee injury in the 40th minute. Murphy was introduced.
But the Magpies responded to setback well and an incredible solo effort by Alexander Isak levelled proceedings in the 43rd minute. The Swede was played in by Bruno Guimaraes before cutting inside of Axel Disai and curling the ball past Djordje Petrovic in the Chelsea goal.
Howe's men started the second-half poorly and went 2-1 down just before the hour-mark when Palmer found a pocket of space on the edge the box to fire low past Martin Dubravka.
Chelsea then made it game, set and match inside the remaining 15 minutes when substitute Mykhailo Mudryk raced through. Murphy's stunning strike was a late consolation strike as United remain without a win at Stamford Bridge since 2012.
Our writer Jordan Cronin was at Stamford Bridge and here's his Newcastle United player ratings:

1. Martin Dubravka - 5.5
Could have claimed the cross seconds before being beaten by Nicolas Jackson’s flicked finish. Then made a couple of good saves before Palmer struck to make it 2-1. | Getty Images

2. Tino Livramento - 7.5
Newcastle’s best performer on the night with an all action display down the right. Didn’t deserve to be on the losing side. | AFP via Getty Images

3. Fabian Schar - 5
Had a couple of hairy moments defensively. Poor in the build-up to Mykhailo Mudryk’s goal as the Ukrainian jinxed past with ease. | Getty Images

4. Sven Botman - 4
Remains a shadow of the player he was last season. Produced a weak clearance that led to Chelsea’s opener before being saved by the offside flag after falling over as Nicolas Jackson raced through on goal. Pushed up too high for Chelsea’s third. | Getty Images
