CHELSEA VERSES NEWCASTLE UNITED.

The match between Chelsea and Newcastle was suposed to have been an entirely one sided affair. It was a match between the top club in the E.P.L and a club which was struggling and and which was already up for sale with the help of a bank called Seymour Pearce.
On paper Chelsea was definately the better side with astring of costly players, and very talented ones to.
But this is football ,and it did not work out that way at all.
Yes the match was an entirely one sided game, how one sided you can see by the stastics. Chelsea hhad 24 shots on target, and 12 shots of target, and at the same time Newcastle did not have a single shot on target and had 2 shots of target. Chelsea also had a goal disallowed as Joe Cole was clearly offside.
The Newcastle defence did a good job they were a wall against, Anelka, Cole, lampard and Deco.But the hero for Newcastle was clearlyShay Given, There was an incident in which Given cought the ball with both his legs behind the goaline, but the important thing was the ball did not cross the line, when he fell down. The law clearly states that for a goal to be scored the entire ball must cross the goaline. In the end Scolari was cleary frustrated at the draw
