Hard to argue with that

Some early bright spells but Chester were poor second half and there can be no qualms about the result. Just one in in 2017 and three defeats on the spin. Disappointing.

Full time: Chester 1 Gateshead 2

The Blues disappointing as they throw away a 1-0 lead to fall to defeat.

  • Share

Well wide

George skews an effort wide from distance. That will be that.

  • Share

Booked

Montgomery shown a yellow for time wasting.

  • Share

Into the side netting

The corner was dangerous but it finds its way out to Richards who fires into the side netting. That could be that.

  • Share

Chester corner

Alabi wins it. Last roll of the dice here.

  • Share

Added time

Four minutes

  • Share

Gateshead sub

Tom Beere on for Danny Johnson - 88 minutes.

  • Share

Petering out

Chester just don’t look like getting back in to this one. Struggling to get anything going here, it’s laboured.

  • Share

Well held

Roberts saves well from an angled Johnson strike.

  • Share

Cleared

And George gives away a free kick cutting off Danny Johnson.

  • Share

Chester corner

Chance for the Blues to work something here.

  • Share

Booked

Mafuta booked for unsportsmanlike behaviour.

  • Share

Gateshead corner

Lloyd does well to snuff out a Heed break.

  • Share

Gateshead dominating

The visitors are threatening with every possession. Look like they have more goals in them as York does well to get to the byline but nobody meets his cross.

  • Share

Flagged

Durrell just offside as he looks to latch on to Shaw’s ball.

  • Share

Chester sub

Evan Horwood off, Kane Richards on. 67 minutes.

  • Share

Damn

High ball bounces around in the area and lands fortuitously for Burrow to fire home unmarked.

  • Share

GOAL! Chester 1 Gateshead 2

Jordan Burrow - 64 minutes

  • Share

Good challenge

Hudson with a slide tackle to deny Johnson after he broke into the area.

  • Share

Unlucky

Alabi wins the ball on the edge of his own area, finds Lloyd and races the length of the pitch but the return ball just evades him.

  • Share

Gateshead corner

Hudson heads out.

  • Share

So close!

Superb work from James Alabi to shrug off Hogan and get into the area. Fires an angled effort over.

  • Share

Phew

Wes York too quick for Hudson and breaks into the area but his cut back cleared by Horwood.

  • Share

Slow start

Neither side really forcing the issue early in the second half here. Still 1-1.

  • Share

Decent chance

Alabi does well to create space and find Shaw who crosses for George, but he’s beaten to the header.

  • Share

Former Blue here to watch

Motherwell defender Ben Heneghan watching from the stands today.

  • Share

Second half kicks off

Chester get us started again in the second period.

The teams are back out

We’re almost ready to go again here.
