Your support makes all the difference.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.
Relive all the action from tonight’s clash below:
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
50 mins: Long ball from Petrovic brilliantly finds Broja moving to his right - classy distribution from the Chelsea keeper. Palmer then shoots from out on the left but his shot deflected wide.
The short corner doesn’t work though and Newcastle try to break but Gordon can’t get on to the ball. Gordon looks to be slightly injured and can’t sprint at full pelt - you feel Eddie Howe will take him off soon.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
46 mins: Chelsea win a free-kick out on the left early in the second half and Gallagher curls it into the box but it’s dealt with initially and the ball back in goes harmlessly out for a goal-kick.
KICK-OFF! Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Back underway at Stamford Bridge.
Two defensive changes for Newcastle at the break as Emil Krafth and Sven Botman come off, with Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn on. Chelsea also forced into a change as Levi Colwill is replaced by Malo Gusto. A few niggles out there after that first 45 minutes.
HALF-TIME! Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Here was the only goal of that first half - Callum Wilson’s neat run and finish but a disaster by Benoit Badiashile.
HALF-TIME! Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
And that’s half-time. Chelsea have had the better of it but a bad mistake by Benoit Badiashile allowed Callum Wilson to nip in and put Newcastle ahead.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
45+3 mins: Great chance right on the stroke of half-time as a lovely lofted ball over the top finds Broja on the run but his volley is weak and straight at Dubravka. Not sure if he was trying to lift it over him? Not much conviction in the finish.
Ah, the flag went up anyway for offside but I’m not sure Broja knew that...
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
45+2 mins: Nice sliding tackle by Krafth on Colwill out wide. Colwill steps on Krafth as it happens - accidental or a bit naughty? Referee deems it accidental and we play on - painful one for Krafth though.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
45 mins: Nice ball into Jackson’s feet by Sterling and he dances across the edge of the box looking to get a shot on target. Eventually he gets one blocked wide for a corner.
Disasi gets his head on the second ball back in but nods it wide. Three minutes of injury time to end the half.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
44 mins: Colwill strides forward and Chelsea try to work something between Palmer and Sterling on the edge of the box but Newcastle scramble it away.
Colwill doesn’t look comfortable and keeps stretching. I wonder if he might be subbed at half-time, with maybe Ian Maatsen coming on for him.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
42 mins: Newcastle’s best spell for a little while as Levi Colwill is forced to lunge to block a Gordon shot and Krafth then gets to the byline and cuts the ball back but it’s dealt with by the defence. Chelsea looked a little stretched for a moment.
