Jonas Guittierez headed the Magpies in front, before Mata curled in a delightful effort to make it 1-1. Lampard put the Blues in front, before Sissoko’s brace settled matters at Saint James.
At the Emirates, Arsenal overcame a stubborn Stoke City side 1-0, thanks to Lukas Podolski’s deflected free-kick.
