Comments:
League position: 12th Some sources do not include the substitution of Charles N'Zogbia for Jose Enrique. However, for example, the match report in the News Post Leader (a Newcastle newspaper) states: "As Newcastle pressed forward for an equaliser, gaps were opening at the back, and Jose Enrique was booked for pulling back Michael Essien in the 76th minute. "N'Zogbia came on for Enrique with 12 minutes left, and the injured Carvalho was replaced by Alex a minute later."2 Chelsea
