Chelsea v Newcastle LIVE: Carabao Cup updates as Blues win dramatic penalty shootout

Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle (Chelsea win 4-2 on pens): Mykhailo Mudryk grabbed an injury-time equaliser and then scored a decisive penalty in the shootout to send the Blues into the semi-finals

'We will succeed, you will see' - Pochettino relishing Chelsea challenge

Chelsea booked their passage to the semi-final of the Carabao Cup on penalties after Mykhailo Mudryk’s stoppage-time equaliser rescued a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge.

Mudryk slotted home after a mistake from Kieran Trippier just as Eddie Howe’s side looked to have done enough to ease past the hosts, who struggled to create for much of the game.

Earlier, Callum Wilson had given the visitors a first-half lead on the counter-attack. But as the game went to spot-kicks, Trippier again was culpable, firing wide from 12 yards before Matt Ritchie saw the critical kick saved by goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic to see Chelsea through.

Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle

75 mins: Chelsea break away on the counter with Sterling surging through the middle. Nkunku supporting on the right and Sterling tries to lay it into his path on the edge of the box but overhits the pass slightly and it’s just beyond the Frenchman’s stretch.

Sterling looks baffled but that was a chance for the Blues.

Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle

72 mins: Nkunku immediately involved as he tries a neat flick on the edge of the area to free Broja. Doesn’t quite come off though.

Sterling gets yellow carded for simulation as he throws himself to the floor looking for a free-kick.

Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle

69 mins: The moment is here! The Chelsea debut of Christopher Nkunku! The man who scored 58 goals over the past two seasons for RB Leipzig but suffered a knee injury in pre-season after joining Chelsea is not thrown into the fray.

An equaliser wouldn’t be a bad way to introduce himself to Blues supporters... He’s got 20 minutes to find one. On for Nicolas Jackson.

Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle

65 mins: This is all Chelsea now. Basically attack vs defence. Sterling whips a good cross in that Gallagher attacks but it’s blocked. Newcastle hoof the ball clear but they’re not leaving any players up the pitch. Happy to sit back and soak up the pressure.

Can Chelsea break down the structured defence?

Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle

62 mins: Chelsea again get around the Newcastle box but are just crowded out before they can get a shot away. Disasi then gets a bouncing cross in but Dubravka holds it.

Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle

60 mins: Newcastle are starting to look a bit out on their feet here. Chelsea will fancy nicking an equaliser.

SAVE! Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle

56 mins: Nice stop Martin Dubravka! Jackson rides a challenge and lays the ball into Sterling’s path towards the right of the box. A good shot away low across goal but Dubravka down smartly and pushes the ball away. Keeps it at 1-0.

Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle

54 mins: The longer this goes, surely the closer we get to Nkunku-time for Chelsea?

Maybe the former RB Leipzig man would have scored this? Good work by Gusto down the left, he pulls it back for Jackson who takes a nice touch and gets a shot off on the turn but drags it just wide.

Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle

52 mins: Gordon then goes down and I think that’s the end of his game. Chelsea build an attack but eventually Caicedo puts the ball out. He didn’t have to do that there - it wasn’t a head injury and his own teammates (and the crowd) don’t look delighted with his decision. Maybe a bit of guilt for that nasty rake down Gordon’s calf in the early going..

Anyway, Gordon comes off and Matt Ritchie is on. The Magpies will be desperately hoping it’s not a serious issue for the impressive winger.
