Follow usChelsea scored a late equalizer and then beat Newcastle on penalties to go through the 1/4-finals of the English League Cup.
After a quarter of an hour of play, a major misunderstanding occurred in Chelsea’s defense when a misplaced pass from the Blues led to chaos. Benoît Badiashile made a nightmarish error, allowing the ball to slip through his legs, and Callum Wilson seized the opportunity, sprinting to retrieve the ball and skillfully beating goalkeeper Georgi Petrovic with a well-placed shot, making it 1-0 for the visitors.
In added time, Chelsea’s pressure after the half time yielded results. Ian Maatsen delivered a cross, and Kieran Trippier attempted a headed pass back to Dubravka, but it was too gentle, and Mudryk attacked him from behind. The Ukrainian forward then shot and beat the Slovak goalkeeper, leveling the score after the English defender’s costly mistake.
