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
40 mins: Chelsea have had the better of this game and over 70 per cent possession but one mistake in this first half has been punished by Callum Wilson.
Emil Krafth goes down testing out his knee and Newcastle could really do without more injuries but he appears to be ok to continue.
NO GOAL! Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
38 mins: Chelsea break and have the ball in the net but it’s rightly disallowed for offside.
It was a nice attack as they surged forward but Broka goes too early and although his dinked finish over Dubravka is nice, the flag goes up to deny him. No VAR to confirm of course this evening but replays show it was offside.
Carabao Cup latest scores
A couple of other quarter-finals this evening in the Carabao Cup, which have reached half-time.
A Michael Keane own goal sees Fulham leading Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park, while League 1 Port Vale’s superb run looks to be ending as they trail Championship Middlesbrough 2-0.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
33 mins: Appeals for a penalty from Chelsea! Sterling again involved as he gets into the box and goes down under a challenge from Jamaal Lascelles. Nothing doing says the referee and no VAR to take a look. Just looked like good, strong defending to be honest
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
31 mins: Not what Chelsea wanted. Enzo Fernandez looks very uncomfortable and he gingerly walks off. Apparently it’s illness. Armando Broja on in his place
CHANCE! Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
29 mins: Now an even BIGGER chance for Chelsea and Raheem Sterling!
A cutback from the byline falls to Sterling in the centre of the box, he takes a touch to get it out from between his feet and fires goalwards but Guimaraes gets in front of Dubravka to make an unbelievable block (and keep his hands away from the ball!). As good as a save that. Sterling can’t believe it.
CHANCE! Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
27 mins: A real opportunity for Raheem Sterling! He gets away from defenders down the left and bursts into the box. He tries to curl the ball beyond Dubravka into the far corner but not enough curl and it’s just wide. Dubravka may have had it covered but what a chance!
WATCH: Callum Wilson puts Newcastle ahead
Probably not one to watch if you’re a member of Benoit Badiashile’s family but here’s Callum Wilson’s goal. Lovely run and finish.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
26 mins: A bit early to think about bringing him on but Christopher Nkunku is warming up and gets a good reception from the Chelsea fans. Surely we’ll see him at some point in the second half.
SAVE! Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
22 mins: A bit of a defensive gift from Newcastle this time as tow players get in each other’s way and the ball falls to Palmer. He cuts on from the right and fires in a shot at goal which Dubravka gets down well at his near post to push away. It would’ve taken some effort to beat him from there but he’s more than capable.
