Ameobi tames Chelsea

Super Eagles’ striker, Shola Ameobi, was the cynosure of all eyes as his Newcastle side shocked Chelsea by two goals to nil at the Sports Direct Arena on Saturday.
Chelsea’s skipper, Terry, blocked and cleared from Ameobi after the striker had been allowed past by David Luiz.
Newcastle were a threat and Sissoko was found in too much space on the right.
His low shot was touched wide by Cech and Remy’s strike seconds later was straight at the keeper.
Gouffran tested Cech who was up to the challenge with a save low down at the near post but he was able to find the net with 67 minutes played.
The goal came from a free-kick, a very well-directed one by Cabaye, and the winger had escaped in front of the markers to head in. Cech this time had no chance.
With his side trailing, Mourinho made his final switch, Schurrle on for Lampard with Ramires now the single deep midfielder and the Blues with more bodies pushed up.
Eto’o tried to make something happen when the ball came his way on the right of the area but had a shot blocked by the arm of a prostrate Magpie.
At the other end, Terry, with quality defending, prevented Sissoko from doubling the Newcastle lead.
When the ball came to Hazard 15 yards out with 86 minutes played, he drove it wide of the post with his left foot, the feeling was growing that Chelsea’s chance had gone.
Moments later, Newcastle took advantage of the visitors pushing forward as Remy fired it past unguarded Cech via the inside of the post to make it 2-0.
