Newcastle United moved to within two points of Premier League champions Manchester City on Saturday with a well-deserved 1-0 win over Chelsea. Joe Willock's first-time beauty was enough to give Eddie Howe's side their fifth consecutive win in the top flight before the winter break.
Newcastle had to hold on in the closing stages as seven additional minutes were somehow awarded at the end of the spectacle. The Magpies dug deep and angered Chelsea in the final moments, with a small scuffle breaking out after the full-time whistle.
Here are the moments you may have missed as Newcastle regained third spot in the Premier League.

Grealish not forgiven
Miguel Almiron spoke to Chronicle Live this week, admitting Jack Grealish's controversial comments were not serving as motivation after a fine run of form this season. However, Newcastle fans seemingly haven't forgiven the Manchester City midfielder just yet following his Miggy jibe earlier this year.
As is the trend these days, plenty of supporters held up homemade signs in the crowd before, during and after the 1-0 win on Saturday. A host of different fans all had signs poking fun at Grealish as the City man continues to be public enemy No 1 in the eyes of Newcastle fans.
One sign read: "Take notes Grealish #PlayLikeAlmiron," while another can be seen below... At least for Grealish's sake Almiron didn't find the net once again.
Potter keeps tinkering
Former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri once earned the nickname 'The Tinkerman' for his constant rotation at Stamford Bridge. However, Graham Potter is on course to take the mantle from his managerial counterpart if he keeps this up at Chelsea.
The new Blues boss just couldn't decide what formation or style he wanted to play on Saturday evening, trying three different right-backs in 90 minutes at St James' Park. Cesar Azpilicueta started the game in that role before being withdrawn at half-time, with attacking midfielder Conor Gallagher taking his place on the right-hand side of a back-five...
After realising that wasn't working, Potter switched to a back-four and moved Trevor Chalobah across to that area of the pitch. No wonder the former Brighton boss is struggling to convince Chelsea fans that his experimenting will come good.
Cucurella welcome
Potter did try and change things with a triple substitution in the second-half. Bringing Marc Cucurella, Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz on at the same stage, Chelsea did enjoy a momentary change in fortune in attack.
However, Newcastle fans wasted absolutely no time hurling some quite inventive insults at Cucurella from the stands. As the left-back entered the pitch and immediately went to take a throw-in near the Gallowgate, he was greeted with the infamous 'you're just a s*** Coloccini' chant due to his long, flowing locks.
Been a while since that classic has been wheeled out on the St James' Park terraces.
Fans protest
Before the game, a selection of Newcastle fans took to the street outside St James' Park to protest the Saudi regime. The supporters held a silent protest against the continued involvement of the Public Investment Fund.
John Hird, founder of the campaign group, told ChronicleLive: "It's the last match before the World Cup, and there's going to be a focus on human rights. It is also a symbolic match for us because when they played against Chelsea last season, the Saudi regime executed 81 people before the match.
"We think it's important to highlight what's really going on, and the nature of the 80% owners of the club. We're not expecting thousands, but even if it's a few people we think it's an important marker that needs to be put down to start a dialogue amongst fans."
