Chelsea defeated Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge with an incredible comeback, preserving their hopes of winning the EFL Cup.
After a blunder by Kieran Trippier, Mikhailo Mudryk’s injury time equalizer was needed to force penalties. Trippier then missed the mark in the ensuing shootout, and Chelsea won when Dorde Petrovic stopped Matt Ritchie’s kick.
