Thanks to a last-second mistake and missed penalty by Newcastle’s Kieran Trippier, Chelsea advanced to the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
At Stamford Bridge, goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic saved an effort by Matt Ritchie, but Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, Christopher Nkunku, and Mykhailo Mudryk all converted their spot-kicks.
The first goal came in the 16th minute when Callum Wilson stumbled past Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile after latching onto a poor back ball from Levi Colwill.
In the 92nd minute, Trippier got his reve𝚗ge for Mykhailo Mudryk’s late equalizer, which he achieved with a dreadful touch in the penalty area.
As the action unfolded, Nizaar Kinsella was present at Stamford Bridge to watch it all…
Juraj Petrovic – 7
Although Wilson’s one-on-one attempt was unsuccessful, he saved the game in the penalty shootout with a spectacular stop.
6-Axel Disasi
Even though he was playing right back, he avoided making the same blunders as the rest of the defense.
Thiago Silva — five
Before Badiashile’s error let him score, he was too feeble to close down Wilson. However, he refrained from letting his error colored his thinking.
Four points for Benoit Badiashile
In his own penalty area, he dallied, allowing Wilson to score. His performance suffered as a result of his fixation on the error.
Colwill, Levi — four
He started the score with an overhit pass that Wilson ran at goal on before he hurt himself tackling the striker and had to leave the field at halftime.
Hernandez, Enzo — 5
Despite playing for 32 minutes, the midfielder failed to make an impression and was substituted off due to illness.
5-Moisés Caicedo
Fortuitous to avoid a possible red card incident following a studs-up challenge on Anthony Gordon without the use of video assistant referees.
The score of Conor Gallagher is 7.
In the first minute, Gallagher had goalie Martin Dubravka beаt with a stunning shot that curled just over the crossbar. In addition to his spectacular penalty save, his performance in the middle of the field was outstanding.
Kevin Palmer – seven
His shoots, crosses, and astute passes were all dangerous because of his exquisite ball-striking skill. Resulted in the first penalty and conviction.
Nicolas Jackson has five
As a result of Fernandez’s illness and missed goal in the second half, the striker moved to the left wing.
Raheem Sterling aces seven
Subsequently, Sterling curled a tremendous attempt just wide and briefly faked a shot before driving another at Dubravka. Throughout, he posed the greatest threаt as an attacker.
Available alternatives
Five pieces from Armando Broja
Not long after entering the game, he set up a solid finish, but he was flagged for offside. He posed a dаnger with his speed.
Toscano – 8
From his bench position, he had a positive influence playing left back and right back, consistently giving high-quality performances.
Chad Nkunku – 6.
His task was straightforward: to score. In the 83rd minute, his headed effort was at least on target. In open play, he was unable to salvage the situation, but he converted the penalty kιck in the shootout with conviction.
Seventh, Mykhailo Mudryk
During his cameo, the Ukrainian was actively involved and scored an equalizer following a Trippier error.
