Defeating Newcastle on penalties, Chelsea enters Carabao Cup semi-finals

With home advantage, Chelsea entered the game with great determination. In the 7th minute, the home team had a chance to open the score after Gallagher's shot from outside the penalty area hit the crossbar.

Unable to take advantage of the opportunities, The Blues paid the price in the 16th minute when Callum Wilson scored past goalkeeper Dorde Petrovic, opening the score for Newcastle.

In the second half, coach Mauricio Pochettino made five substitutions and let his players play a fast attacking game. These changes did not help Chelsea improve the game because the opponent dropped deep and played a defensive game in large numbers in their own half.

Luck came to the home team at Stamford Bridge in the 90+2 minute, substitute player Mikhaylo Mudryk had a successful one-touch finish, equalizing 1-1 for Chelsea.

The two teams had to enter a penalty shootout to determine the winner. Here, the home team performed better and won 4-2, thereby earning a ticket to the semi-finals.

Along with Chelsea, the other two teams that have already qualified are Fulham and Middlesbrough. The remaining spot will go to the winner of the match between Liverpool and West Ham, which will take place in the early morning of December 21. After the Liverpool-West Ham match, the semi-final draw will be made. The final will take place at Wembley Stadium on February 25.
