Just like Cristiano Ronaldo! Raheem Sterling scores outrageous free-kick for Chelsea against Newcastle

The Blues found themselves trailing early in the game after Alexander Isak beat Robert Sanchez in a one-on-one after being put through on goal by Lewis Miley.

However, Mauricio Pochettino's men did not have to wait long for the equaliser as Sterling rose to the occasion with an incredible strike from a set piece a few yards outside the penalty box. It had the perfect weight and dip as it glided over the wall and swooped into the top corner.

Sterling has been gradually realising his potential under Pochettino as it was his third goal contribution in the last three Premier League matches. It was his sixth strike of the season in 15 appearances across all competitions and the English winger will be looking to reach double figures as quickly as possible.

The first half has flown by at St. James' Park with both teams eager to get their noses in front. Joelinton could have handed back the lead to the Magpies but he missed a free header from close range which kept the scoreline unchanged.
