CHELSEA have beaten Newcastle on penalties to book their spot in the Carabao Cup semifinal – and for Kieran Tripper, it was a night to forget.
Callum Wilson initially put the Toon ahead following Benoit Badioshile’s woeful defending.
But Kieran Trippier’s mistake led to Mykhailo Mudryk scoring a stoppage-time equaliser.
And Tripper was one of the two Newcastle players to miss a penalty in the shootout that saw the Blues go through.

This win could prove season-defining for Mauricio Pochettino.

Now, they have a semi-final draw to look forward to, knowing they are one win away from Wembley.

Eddie Howe will have to try and pick his side up after this.
They have suffered two confidence-denting exits in the space of a week.
Newcastle need to dust themselves off and bounce back from this or risk letting it derail their season.

Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle (4-2 on penalties)
The curse of Kieran Trippier strikes at Stamford Bridge.
He gifted Chelsea their equaliser, deep into added time, to take the game to penalties.
Then the England full-back sent his own penalty wide of the target to give The Blues the edge in the shooutout.
With Mauricio Pochettino’s side not missing a single spot-kick, they booked their place in the semi-finals when Petrovic saved Ritchie’s penalty.
The stadium is rocking in West London.

90+4. A speculative ball is played in towards the back post.
It reaches Trippier who looks to head it back to his keeper but it is well short and Mudryk runs onto it.
He sidefoots it past Dubravka for a late equaliser.
Absolute scenes at Stamford Bridge.
