Hello and welcome to **football.london** for live coverage of Enzo Maresca's post-match press conference following Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.
A first-half double from Nick Woltemade had the Blues trailing at the break in what was a poor first-half display from the visitors on Tyneside. However, in the second period, things were much different.
Reece James' superb free-kick beat Aaron Ramsdale to get Chelsea back into the game, before Joao Pedro took advantage of a slip from Malick Thiaw to level the match. The Blues pushed for the winning goal in what was a hugely gripping match, but had to settle for a point.
Maresca is set to join us shortly to offer his thoughts. **Bobby Vincent** is on Tyneside to bring you live updates from the Italian's press conference:
