In a dramatic Carabao Cup showdown at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea snatched a spot in the semi-finals, overcoming Newcastle United in a nail-biting penalty shootout. Callum Wilson’s impressive eighth season goal initially seemed to set Newcastle on a path to victory, but a late twist changed everything.
The match took an unexpected turn in the 16th minute when Wilson’s strike put Newcastle ahead. However, as the game approached its climax, Chelsea’s substitute Mykhailo Mudryk seized on a costly mistake by Newcastle’s Kieran Trippier, a seasoned player experiencing a recent slump in form. Mudryk’s crucial intervention in stoppage time leveled the score and pushed the game into a decisive penalty shootout.
Trippier’s struggles continued as he missed Newcastle’s second penalty, a significant moment that tilted the scales in Chelsea’s favor. With Chelsea’s goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic saving a penalty from Newcastle’s Matt Ritchie, the Blues experienced an emotional rollercoaster, swinging from the brink of defeat to the euphoria of securing a semi-final berth.
The outcome was a harsh blow for Trippier, whose influence under manager Eddie Howe has been notable. His hesitation in a critical moment allowed Chelsea the opportunity to claw their way back into the game, an opportunity that Mudryk grabbed with both hands.
In the penalty shootout, Chelsea’s shooters – Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, Christopher Nkunku, and Mudryk – displayed clinical precision, each finding the back of the net. Newcastle, however, could only reply with successful penalties from Wilson and Bruno Guimaraes, leading to their defeat and adding to the disappointment of their recent Champions League exit.

As a neutral, this was an intense match to watch, great skills from both teams, but those penalties were nerve-wracking.
Petrovic was solid! deserved a higher rating imo, Chelsea’s defense needs to step up tho.
wow Chelsea really pulled it off in the end, great game but feel bad for Trippier tho, that miss was brutal.
Mudryk’s late goal was epic, that’s what you call a game-changer! chelsea’s luck was in tonight.
Heartbroken but proud of the lads, we’ll come back stronger, Howe’s got this!
Gallagher’s performance is underrated, he’s a key player for Chelsea, solid in midfield.
What a match! Semi-finals, here we come. Kudos to Newcastle, they gave us a tough fight.
Can’t believe we let it slip away, Trippier’s mistake cost us big time, gutted.
