We’ve all heard about Chelsea’s problems in defence – they don’t really have one at the minute – but Newcastle’s central pairing have exactly no league starts between them this season. Today looks like a good opportunity for Chelsea to end their woeful recent run.
Six minutes later …
GOAL!!!!!!!!!! Newcastle 1-0 Chelsea (Carroll 6min) Remember what I was saying about Chelsea having no decent centre-backs? Alex cleverly beats his own keeper who scrambles out of his goal for no apparent reason. Carroll is pelting back and nudges the ball into an empty net. Oh dear.

Good weekend for novocastrians, north and south. Chelsea stymied and the LA Galaxy went down to the Newcastle Jets 2:1. Beckham nearly pulled off a signature goal to equalise, but it was just wide.
Unfortunately our Jets sit only 4th spot off bottom, which does remove some of the shine.
Galaxy were robbed of a goal. It was a foot over the line.
