Summary of the game

The first period was a frustrating afternoon for Thomas Tuchel's side as Hakim Ziyech was denied by the Video Assistant Referee who spotted him in an offside position.

Newcastle's shot-stopper Karl Darlow also made some significant saves to keep a respectable scoreline in the first 45 minutes.

It took 65 minutes to break the deadlock in the game and it was done in style by their left-back Reece James.

James added the second after Reuben Loftus-Cheek's initial shot had displaced goalkeeper Darlow as the defender slammed into an empty net in the second attempt to make it 2-0 in the 77th minute.

Two minutes later Kai Havertz was brought down in the box by Darlow as the referee pointed to the spot for a penalty.

Jorginho blasted his shot straight down the middle to make it 3-0 with nine minutes left to play.
