CHELSEA’S BID TO match the Arsenal Invincibles is over.

Newcastle United beat the Premier League leaders 2-1 thanks to a double from striker Papiss Cisse.

It was Chelsea’s first loss following a 14-game unbeaten start in the league and their first in all competitions since April, a run which equalled the club record of 23 games without defeat.

Cisse pounced on Gary Cahill’s error to open the scoring in the 59th minute.
