Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea:Kalou rescues point but Alex and Petr Cech mix-up costs Blues top spot

Chelsea's title ambitions took another dent on Sunday afternoon after Carlo Ancelotti's men could only muster a draw against Newcastle United, leaving them trailing league-leaders Manchester United by two points.

However, this didn’t seem to be too much of a disruption for the Magpies as they started brightly.

The story is too old to be commented.
