Chelsea went ahead after six minutes through Patrick Van Aanholt, but Newcastle roared into a 3-1 lead with goals from Nile Ranger, Ryan Taylor and Shola Ameobi (49th).
With Chelsea sitting atop of the Premier League after an unbeaten start to the season, manager Carlo Ancelotti saw fit to make sweeping changes to the side that beat Blackpool 4-0 on Sunday, with Ross Turnbull starting in goal and John Terry returning from injury to shepherd a backline consisting of the Dutch duo of Patrick Van Aanholt and Jeffrey Bruma along with Paulo Ferreira, whilst Daniel Sturridge and French winger Gael Kakuta were also handed a chance to shine.
