Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle United

Chelsea dominated this one. Had many shots at goal, but other than a Lampard shot saved brilliantly by Given, Newcastle limited Chelsea to lots of long range, half chances.
Argentinean central defender Colocinni hhad a great game in the Newcastle defence.

Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari:
"We played 70% of the game in the opponent's half and we tried 10 times to score a goal. They didn't try to make anything against us.

"Who won today? Newcastle because they came here to draw with us. The players tried but it is not the day for us.

"The man on the pitch is the boss. I didn't like this referee today but he's the referee and if he said it is offside it is offside. Finish."

Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear:
"It was a magnificent performance and about the best we've played as a team. Shay Given pulled off some great saves but as a team it was as good as it gets.

"I don't think Chelsea created a clear-cut chance. Our commitment was magnificent. We've drawn at Manchester United and Chelsea. It's not bad is it?

"I'm delighted with the performance and we can go on from this."
