Nice ball there by Matsud, for Jackson!
Beautiful Chelsea goal.
The incisive pass, the ruthless finish.
And doesn't he make finishing look easy?
Just rolls it past the goalkeeper,
passes it into the back of the net,
Chelsea find themselves 1-0 ahead.
Beautiful finish, controlled, knows what he's doing,
just passes it past the goalkeeper,
rolls it into the back of the net,
good stop from Pochettino,
the manager's happy.
What's Jostin going on in the box?
Very commanding header up to Albaron,
now Isaac, oh, and a fantastic header!
It was well kept at bay by Kepa.
The play has been stopped here, whistle blown,
it'll be a Chelsea ball.
It was young Alex Murphy, I think, who came back from Isaac.
He didn't know too much about it, good ball for Albaron,
Isaac heads it back, and young Murphy heads to goal,
and Kepa's just right place, right time, stands big, stands firm.
Gordon, lovely run by Gordon, there's a pass on there too when he sees it,
and he has done, it's Miguel Albaron, in for Newcastle!
It just had to be!
Trademark, Miguel Albaron.
It had to be, as you say, it's almost scripted.
He looks level as the ball's been played,
and knows exactly what he wants to do, he wants to get it on that left foot.
And then he wants to steer the ball away from Kepa.
He holds his run here, and then he's in,
he knows exactly where he wants to place this ball,
he's in that side netting away from the goalkeeper.
How many times have they seen it in this stadium,
in the colours of Atlanta United?
And now they see it in the black and white of Newcastle United.
Here's Byrne, Isaac, coming off that left-hand side again.
Driving at James, oh, and getting past him.
Great work by Isaac, and the Cubs enter the chance for Miley.
The teenager.
It deserved a better finish, cos the build-up from Isaac was top class.
And he's going against one of the best defenders in the Premier League.
Skips past James, picks out Miley,
and Leung decides to go with his side foot.
Gatheger.
Stirling, it's a bit loose, Stirling wins it back.
Gatheger batting away, Gatheger has it, Gatheger's shot!
And that was a very good save by Boat.
He just had to shift his balance, and the left-hand was very strong.
That's why he's one of the best in the league,
and England international Nick Pope talked about wanting to get back in the first-team picture,
and that's why, good reaction from the goalkeeper.
Here's Ashby, Ternate, Stirling.
Shot by Medgar, here's Madagascar,
Diego Merrera on the right wing for Chelsea here.
Merrera's ball across was deflected, and Nick Pope readjusting.
He got there in good time.
He could have been stern there for a moment.
He's pleased he got the deflection, just took a little bit of pace off the ball.
Merrera lively on that left-hand side, another left-footed player,
one that's come in on his right, Thornton, catches the defender and Pope reacts well.
Blue flags are waving.
Will those fans be rewarded with a winning goal here?
Gatheger's corner.
It's come back for Chilwell, they've caught it well.
Chilwell again! What a save!
Outstanding save from Nick Pope.
That looked set to be a winning goal, but Nick Pope had other ideas.
That's a brilliant save, because it comes to a crowd of bodies, he mustn't see it till late.
From a man who's been out of first-team action, just coming back from an injury, that is a super save.
Chilwell, and he stops by the full-time whistle.
So it ends one apiece between Newcastle and Chelsea.
Miguel Albarón, the man who scored the goal to earn the point for Newcastle,
who came from behind to earn it.
And Newcastle and Chelsea all square in Atlanta tonight.
