Newcastle newbie Moussa Sissoko stuns Chelsea Newcastle United's Moussa Sissoko celebrates after scoring against Chelsea at St James' Park, Newcastle. NEW signing Moussa Sissoko claimed a second-half brace to give Newcastle United a home win to Chelsea yesterday. Chelsea striker Demba Ba endured a torrid return to St James' Park, getting jeered by the fans of his former club and taking a kick to the face from one-time team-mate Fabricio Coloccini before being replaced by Fernando Torres. By then, Newcastle had taken a 41st-minute lead through a Jonas Gutierrez header, but Frank Lampard equalised 10 minutes into the second half with a thumping strike from 25 yards. A curling effort from Juan Mata gave Chelsea the lead for the first time six minutes later, but Newcastle came back again and drew level when Sissoko finished after Petr Cech saved from Yoan Gouffran. To Chelsea's cost, there was more to come from the former Toulouse man, who crashed home a low shot from Santon's pass in the last minute to give Newcastle consecutive victories for the first time this season. "I don't need to say anything because his performance said it all," said Newcastle manager Alan Pardew of Sissoko. I remember watching him for Toulouse 14 months ago, and I thought he was the one for us. We watched him and set our sights on him for a long time. Defeat left Chelsea six points behind second-place Manchester City and 13 points shy of leaders Manchester United, who could go 10 points clear with victory at Fulham later on Saturday. "There were too many mistakes," said Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez. I could see a red card that was not shown for Fabricio Coloccini. We had a chance and Demba Ba received a broken nose, it is bleeding. Arsenal left it late to beat Stoke City 1-0 and move to within a point of the Champions League places. Lukas Podolski claimed the game's only goal in the 78th minute with a low free-kick that deflected off Geoff Cameron to wrong-foot goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. At Goodison Park, Marouane Fellaini headed in an injury-time equaliser to earn Everton a 3-3 draw in a breathless game at home to Aston Villa, who once again failed to defend a lead and remain firmly ensconced in the bottom three. A Christian Benteke brace and a goal from Gabriel Agbonlahor meant Villa were 3-1 up with 21 minutes to play, Victor Anichebe having replied for Everton, only for Fellaini's late double to give Everton a share of the spoils. "I thought we played well but didn't defend well," said Everton manager David Moyes. Great credit to the players as they never gave up and kept going. We found ourselves chasing the game all the time and that makes for frantic football. Villa are now two points below fourth-bottom Reading, who won 2-1 at home to Sunderland to keep themselves above the bottom three. Jimmy Kebe scored both goals for the hosts, netting an 85th-minute winner after Craig Gardner had cancelled out his early opener with a 29th-minute penalty. Southampton were denied a precious victory after conceding a last-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw at Wigan Athletic. Gary Caldwell's 25th-minute header put Wigan in front, with second-half goals from Rickie Lambert and Morgan Schneiderlin giving the visitors a lead they relinquished when Shaun Maloney snatched a goal at the death. Elsewhere, on-loan Liverpool striker Andy Carroll scored only his second goal of the season to give West Ham United a 1-0 win at home to Swansea City. Adel Taarabt had a second-half penalty saved as Queens Park Rangers were held to a 0-0 draw by Norwich City that left them six points from safety and four points adrift at the foot of the table. That's how it goes. Adel was outstanding again," said QPR manager Harry Redknapp. It's just one of those things. If we score, then we win the game, there's no doubt.
