It seemed to be another draw for the Blues had it not been for a late finish by Salomon Kalou casuing his side to win the match 2-1 against Newcastle united.
Chelsea were the first to take the lead. A half-volley from Shawn Wright-Phillips was deflected from Kalou and arrived at the feet of Michael Essien. He eased it into the back of the net as the keeper had dived on to the other side before the deflection. Newcastle drew level when an attack from the left side broke through the Chelsea defence and it was the useless attempts of Joe Cole to keep the ball out as Nicky Butt was in a better position. However a shot from Michael Essien was deflected, this time from Claudio Pizzaro, and landed behind the Newcastle defense line. Kalou was the first to reach it and finish it around Shay Given into the goal. Three points for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea were level in term of goals against opponents Aston Villa as each team scored four goals apiece to bring an exhilarating match to end as a draw.
One moment the home side seemed to be loosing. Maloney had already given Villa an early lead, and thanks to an error from Petr Cech, Villa were able to double their lead. Chelsea came back with a storm as Andrei Shevchenko scored twice for his team before the half. In the second half, it was Chelsea who scored first, center-back Alex providing the lead. But Villa made a comeback this time as Laursen converted a neat free-kick in from Ashley Young making the score equal again. Two minutes before the end of the game, Chelsea were awarded a free-kick right at the edge of the Villa penalty area. At his first appearance for his team this season, Michael Ballack scored his first goal in this season from the free-kick. The home crowd were cheering excitedly now, as they thought their team had won it. But a final attack from Aston Villa proved devastating for Chelsea. Ashley Cole had bravely defended a shot on goal, but the referee called it a deliberate hand ball and sent-off the Chelsea left-back also awarding a late penalty to the away team. Gareth Barry had no difficulty in converting that one and the match ended 4-4.
