00:00like this Newcastle top of the Premier League after four straight wins entertaining an equally
00:05unbeaten Chelsea and this new stadium a cauldron of good old-fashioned football fervor
00:11well in the week when Barry Venison made a successful England international debut
00:17teammate Andy Cole knows that he must keep patient and keep scoring to get his chance
00:23it's four goals already this season making it an amazing 57 in 61 games that he's worn
00:29the black and white number nine of Newcastle well Newcastle start today with rule Fox alongside
00:36Cole up front Steve Watson will be wide right midfield although Kevin Keegan has been quick
00:42to change the formation this season as he's felt it's required Chelsea retain the same team that
00:48won away so impressively at Leeds two weeks ago and then beat Manchester City 3-0 and so it's a first
00:54return to St James's Park for Gavin Peacock who was Newcastle's captain during their division one
00:59championship winning season referee Peter Jones of Loughborough seven years on the list but
01:06officiating at St James's Park for the first time
01:09and Newcastle kick off what will be a busy 30 days both for themselves and opponents Chelsea they each
01:20each face nine games in that spell of 30 days with European ties to come up in midweek
01:26Cole down to Fox oh he's gone around the defender easy Fox Cole just lost his footing otherwise Chelsea
01:37were in trouble and once again it was the neat footwork of rule Fox which opened up Chelsea
01:43Spackman helping it on just hooked
01:50just hooked in and Cole wasn't offside on the left foot oh super
01:54magnificent strike by Andy Cole
02:01he needed just eight minutes to open his account against Chelsea and what a gilt-edged strike
02:11the ball dropping over the defence Cole onside and it was right into that top corner
02:19drifting away from Jakob Kielberg look how well he struck it
02:26here's Furlong oh he's made space and he's closed it
02:34the door looked as if it had opened
02:38by the time the shot came in the defender had got in front of him
02:43Spencer gets it across wise it's in Peacock Gavin Peacock scores against his old club
02:50and the scores are level and Hooper in today in place of the suspended Czech international
02:59Pavel Czernicek
03:00saving the initial effort from Dennis Wise but the ball fell right at the feet of Gavin Peacock
03:08Watson just came away off his chest but it came to rule Fox
03:17Watson
03:20Cole
03:23the defender was climbing all over the back of Andy Cole
03:28and the referee has pointed at the penalty spot
03:32it looked as though Cole's attempt to jump to meet the cross
03:36was impeded by the defender I think it was Steve Clark
03:40and it's a penalty
03:41which Robert Lee will take
03:44and the crowd don't like to see Dennis Wise having a word with him
03:49Lee from the penalty spot
03:58Karin saves it
03:59but who's on to the rebound
04:01it's the quickest man on the field
04:03Rul Fox
04:04Karin did his bit
04:08nothing wrong with the penalty save
04:12but when the ball came out
04:14the first man to it was Rul Fox
04:16and maybe Chelsea have only themselves to blame for that
04:20he was three yards ahead of the first defender
04:23Spatner
04:35and Sinclair
04:38well it was a good run forward by Peacock
04:49he caught the defence he wasn't offside
04:51forced a check though by Hooper who just stood his ground
04:55Rocastle's in there
04:56and in the end it's just gone wide
04:59Rocastle appealing
05:01for once the ball wasn't quite good enough
05:09oh Spencer headed it on with the back of his head
05:14Furlong arrives
05:15super header
05:16and Chelsea are level again
05:18we've not had half an hour
05:23and it's two apiece
05:25and Chelsea have twice stunned St. James' Park with an equaliser
05:29maybe a little fortunate then
05:32because the ball which hits
05:33John Spencer on the back of the head
05:35set him free
05:36and look how well Paul Furlong places that
05:40Hooper got his fingers to it
05:41but it flew off them into the roof of the net
05:44and what a feast St. James' Park is enjoying
05:50Benison gets there just ahead of Peacock
05:56but here's Dennis Wise
05:58oh he's lost his footing
05:59Hottiger
05:59then he brought him down
06:02it's got to be a free kick
06:04it's got to be a caution
06:05well Dennis Wise smiles a bit ruefully
06:09he was put what he would feel
06:12in an impossible situation
06:13when he lost his studs on the surface
06:15and Newcastle incidentally
06:18were watering this pitch heavily
06:19right up until 10 minutes before kick-off
06:22Glenn Hoddle
06:26will be thrilled at his side
06:28of twice come back to equalise
06:31he'll have to defend here
06:34it's hit over the top
06:35and Darren Peacock can retrieve it
06:38and Darren Peacock can retrieve it
06:42Rul Fox
06:43oh he's just turning them inside out
06:46Watson's header
06:48and it's Luke's
06:50away from goal
06:53Dennis Wise who still remains unpopular with the home support
06:59Vanissen
07:00Vanissen
07:02Kohl with Erlen Janssen right into his back pocket
07:07down the line by Scott Sellers
07:21Scott Sellers, and that has stayed in play.
07:23Now Beresford to pick out a target.
07:26Watson arrives up the top of the bar.
07:31Maybe Sinclair wasn't as aware as Yorks had been
07:35that Steve Watson was arriving behind him.
07:38It'll buzz around the ground.
07:44Sellers have offered him a target.
07:46Beresford goes on the overlap and gets it.
07:49Fox, Lee.
07:523-2 Newcastle.
08:00Newcastle watered the pitch heavily before the match
08:03because, as Terry McDermott admitted,
08:06they like to play the ball on the floor
08:08and to see it pinging along.
08:10And that's the way that goal came.
08:13Short, sharp passes on the floor.
08:17And, in the end, a simple side-fought for Robert Lee.
08:27From Kjellberg, and then from Jonsson.
08:29Across the box!
08:31And Sellers, arriving at 100 miles an hour,
08:33didn't quite get a connection.
08:37But Andy Cole unstitched both of Chelsea's central defenders then.
08:46Just knocked it past Erlen Jonsson's lunging challenge.
08:49Sellers, and that's Wise, who stayed on the turf.
09:02Sinclair back with his head.
09:04Heels off.
09:05Lee down the middle.
09:06Here's Lee.
09:07Still Lee.
09:08Heels off.
09:09Lee down the middle.
09:10Here's Lee.
09:11Still Lee.
09:12Cole!
09:13He doesn't even miss half-chances, does he?
09:16You can't take your eyes off Andy Cole for a second.
09:21You can't take your eyes off Andy Cole for a second.
09:25A smile that stretches from ear to ear.
09:32Lee got it back to him.
09:36And as the defender came in and Karine came off his line,
09:41Cole slammed it past the pair of them.
09:44Maybe a little fortunate that Jonsson's touch didn't carry the ball away,
09:52but Cole buried it.
09:544-2 Newcastle.
09:57Sellers.
10:00Here's Albert.
10:01That's intended for Watson.
10:04Still Watson.
10:10Still Watson.
10:12Left foot.
10:14Inches in it.
10:15But from Newcastle's point of view, the wrong side of the post.
10:23Well, Newcastle put five past Southampton at home.
10:26They put four past Coventry.
10:28It's already four against Chelsea.
10:30That might have been five.
10:41Here's Roecastle.
10:42Knocked in to Dennis Wise.
10:44Knocked in to Dennis Wise.
10:45Spackman.
10:49Furlong flags up on the near side for backing in by the Chelsea player.
10:53The referee is going over to talk to one of his linesmen.
11:09And the top pocket is being unbuttoned.
11:12And the top pocket is being unbuttoned.
11:16So it's something which the linesmen have seen, but to Peter Jones didn't.
11:21And it's a red card.
11:29And Dennis Wise is dismissed.
11:34Now, what did the linesmen spot that the referee and I didn't?
11:39And I don't think many in the crowd did either.
11:42Well, he's shouting something over to the linesmen there, Dennis Wise.
11:47And that was the point when the linesmen put his flag up and called the referee over.
11:51And the result was a red card for Chelsea's captain.
11:56He's on for the hat-trick.
11:57It will be his seventh for Newcastle.
11:59Well, it would have been.
12:01Chelsea had a long look at the linesmen, but the flag never looked like going up.
12:13Here's Gavin Peacock, forced to turn back.
12:15Spencer!
12:16Oh, what a good strike by Spencer.
12:20And it's been the...
12:22..of an afternoon in which Newcastle have really underlined
12:26that their challenge for the Premier title is serious.
12:31The last time they won the first five games
12:33at the start of a top season in the top division,
12:37they went on to lift the title.
12:40There were hiccups when Chelsea twice equalised
12:43after Andy Cole had put them ahead
12:45and then Rule Fox had made it 2-1.
12:48The goals in the second half from Robert Lee
12:50and Cole's second in the end wrapping up a comfortable victory.
