Moussa Sissoko's two goals stuns Chelsea with a 3-2 defeat [Getty Images]
Although the Magpies opened the score with a goal by Gutierrez in the 41st minutes, Chelsea found it easier not only to equalise in the 55th minute by a goal by Lampard, but also gained a winning edge over Newcastle with a goal by Mata in the 61st minute.
But the Blues' joy was short lived as there came 6'-2" tall Moussa Sissoko, appearing on his home debut, in the 68th minute to equalize the score 2-2.
Although, this disappointed the Blues and Rafael Benitez, but perhaps they hoped for a draw from then on. But Sissoko was restless on his home debut day and waited till the 90th minute to struck again and clinch the match from the Blues and let his team win 3-2.
And the win came despite the fact that Chelsea had the ball for 58% of the game, 16% more than the Magpies.
Consecutive victories for the first time since April moved Newcastle eight points clear of the relegation zone and suggested that, despite losing Ba to the European champions earlier in January, they have realistic hopes of climbing the table again.
