A resolute Newcastle United beat Chelsea 1-0 at St James’ Park in the Premier League, with Isaac Hayden stealing in at the death to steal all three points.

The loss leaves Chelsea with a five-point advantage over Manchester United in fourth with a game in hand while Newcastle move up to 12th some seven points clear of 17th-placed Aston Villa.

The Blues dominated possession throughout but were unable to make a breakthrough, with Tammy Abraham going closest with 80 minutes gone but Matt Richie managed to clear off the line.

Just as it looked like Chelsea would have to settle for a point, Hayden headed a Allan Saint-Maximin centre home in added time.
