Chelsea news: Conor Gallagher's instant impact and Frank Lampard's reaction to Newcastle defeat

It ended as a frustrating evening for Chelsea and Frank Lampard as the Blues fell to Premier League defeat to Newcastle at St James' Park.

Lampard's men dominated the majority of the game, but couldn't find a way past a stubborn Magpies team.

It was in added time when the sucker-punch came, Newcastle recycled their only corner of the match for Isaac Hayden to turn the ball past Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The defeat means that Chelsea, who still sit in fourth place in the table are now just five points clear of Manchester United in fifth, although the Red Devils have a game in hand.

The Blues though will be able to get the result out of their system when they take on Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.

Here's the latest news from Chelsea while you wait for that match.

Gallagher's instant impact

Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher made an instant impact at his new loan club on Saturday afternoon.

The teenager made his debut for Swansea City against Wigan Athletic and it took 19 minutes to contribute, providing an assist for Rhian Brewster's equalising goal.

Gallagher impressed on loan at Charlton in the first-half of the season, and it seems he is continuing his form with his new club.

Take a look here.

Newcastle talking points
