Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle (4-2 on pens): Carabao Cup quarter-final as it happened | Carabao Cup

That’s your lot, then. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.

Eddie Howe – downcast but as usual philosophical - speaks to Sky Sports. “It hurts a lot … it’s a very similar game to the Paris end-of-game feeling where the lads had committed so much, given everything and led for so long, defended really well but didn’t get over the line … whenever we concede, we concede collectively, we don’t concede individually … as a team we were excellent, our shape was so good … it was a heroic effort … I can’t praise the players enough … we probably weren’t as good technically in the second half … we lost our threat … Botman was planned, 45 minutes was a nice step for him … Krafth took a knock … Gordon took a nasty looking knock … I haven’t seen it myself but people are telling me that [Caicedo’s challenge on Gordon] is a red card … we go to Luton and that’ll be an emotional game.”

Mauricio Pochettino talks to Sky: “It was an unbelievable game … we suffered … when we conceded, it was our mistake … after we conceded we dominated … we deserved it … always you need some luck … but if you always try the luck can arrive … the players deserved credit because they worked hard … this type of game make us believe and grow … there are things to do and improve … the players are still so young … look at the age, and they took responsibility … we are creating a bond … it takes time … we need to keep pushing, working and believing … Enzo Fernandez felt sick before the game … after the start of the game it was not going well … we hope it is not a big thing … Levi Colwill was more tactical but he was tired … he will be ready for the next game, no problem.”

Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle (Newcastle win 4-2 on penalties). Jacob Steinberg was there to witness Kieran Trippier’s night to forget, as Chelsea squeaked through to the semis.

Everton 1-1 Fulham (Fulham win 7-6 on penalties). Andy Hunter was at Goodison as Fulham made it to the semis for the very first time.

Port Vale 0-3 Middlesbrough. Jamie Jackson was at Vale Park, as the 2003 champions reached the semi-finals 20 years on.

… and so we now know the identity of three of the four semi-finalists. Into the velvet bag go Middlesbrough, Fulham and Chelsea. They’ll be joined by either Liverpool or West Ham United, who face off at Anfield tomorrow night. The draw will be made after that game. We’ll have all that covered, naturally.

FULL TIME: Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle (Chelsea win 4-2 on penalties)

Chelsea were a couple of minutes of going out. But they’re in the semi-finals yet again! Poor Kieran Trippier. But on the balance of play overall, it’s no more than Chelsea deserve.

PENALTIES: Chelsea 4-2 Newcastle. Ritchie has to score. He doesn’t, though. He aims for the top right, and Petrovic, having guessed correctly, palms the weak effort away.

PENALTIES: Chelsea 4-2 Newcastle. Mudryk, whose late, late, late goal took us all here, sends Dubravka the wrong way and whips into the bottom left. Unstoppable.

PENALTIES: Chelsea 3-2 Newcastle. Guimaraes needs to score or Newcastle are in all sorts. He takes a deep breath, and … casually rolls the ball into the bottom right, having sent Petrovic the wrong way with his eyes. What moxie!

PENALTIES: Chelsea 3-1 Newcastle. Nkunku, on his Chelsea debut, lashes into the top left. Not stopping that one!

PENALTIES: Chelsea 2-1 Newcastle. Trippier, who made the mistake that sent the game to penalties, looks pensive as he walks up to the spot. What pressure. And he buckles, sending his effort wide left. This is a horror show for a player seriously out of form.

PENALTIES: Chelsea 2-1 Newcastle. Gallagher, Chelsea’s captain, up next for the hosts. He goes top left. Dubravka is never reaching it.

PENALTIES: Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle. Wilson up first for Toon. He sends the ball towards the top right. Petrovic no chance.

PENALTIES: Chelsea 1-0 Newcastle. Palmer whips into the bottom right. Dubravka went the right way, but couldn’t reach. Palmer shushes the Newcastle fans.

Back at Stamford Bridge, Newcastle win the toss to take the kicks in front of their own fans … but lose the next toss, and Chelsea will go first. Here we go, then!

FULL TIME: Everton 1-1 Fulham (Fulham win 7-6 on penalties). Amadou Onana had a kick to win it for Everton, only for his weak effort to be scooped by Bernd Leno. On to sudden death, and when Idrissa Gueye hit the post, Tosin Adarabioyo slotted to knock Everton out. Fulham make it to the semis for the first time in their history!

It looked as though Benoît Badiashile’s clumsy mistake had cost Chelsea a place in the semis. Now it’s all about Kieran Trippier’s weird error in stoppage time. Over to penalties, then. Speaking of which …

FULL TIME: Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle

Penalties it is!

90 min +5: Now Guimaraes is booked for a late charge on Maatsen. He’ll miss the first leg of the semi if Newcastle make it.

90 min +4: Gallagher is booked for scything down Caicedo. Meanwhile replays show some idiot coming onto the pitch to celebrate in Dubravka’s face, then shove him in the chest.

90 min +3: That was an absolutely abysmal error by Trippier, who is costing Newcastle goals at an alarming rate right now. Penalties ahoy!

GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle (Mudryk 90+2)

Another Trippier mistake costs Newcastle dear! A Gusto cross from the right flank. There’s no danger, but Trippier, on the left-hand corner of the six-yard box, tries to head back to his keeper. He only succeeds in cushioning the ball down for Mudryk, who appears from behind before slamming past Dubravka and into the bottom right! What A Defensive Fiasco II.

90 min +1: The first of four additional minutes passes by.

90 min: Gallagher dribbles into the box from the right. He brushes past Livramento and goes over. He wants a penalty. He doesn’t get one. He should really receive a yellow card for simulation instead, but the referee simply waves play on.

88 min: A cross from the Chelsea left. Livramento dives to deflect it away from goal, only to nearly plant a header into the top left, past a rooted Dubravka. Inches wide from personal disaster. Nothing comes of the resulting corner.

87 min: Wilson is booked for stopping Caicedo taking a quick free kick, then rolling around the floor complaining, having quite rightly been shoved out of the way. It is panto season, after all.

85 min: Gusto races down the right and cuts a dangerous ball back into the box. Lascelles shanks it behind for a corner that leads to nothing. Dubravka hasn’t had a serious save to make for a while. On the touchline, Mauricio Pochettinho frowns with great concern.

84 min: Chelsea can’t get into any sort of rhythm at Stamford Bridge. Newcastle looking assured for the first time in the second half.

FULL TIME: Port Vale 0-3 Middlesbrough. The 2003 champions reach the semi-finals two decades on!

FULL TIME: Everton 1-1 Fulham. It’s penalties at Goodison. Will Jordan Pickford or Bernd Leno be the hero?

81 min: A rare spell of Newcastle possession. They do nothing with it, but that’s not the point. Chelsea lose a little momentum, and the clock ticks on.

79 min: Chelsea make a double change: Disasi and Sterling – the latter Chelsea’s best player tonight – make way for Maatsen and Mudryk.

77 min: As Chelsea continue to fruitlessly press forward, here’s Kári Tulinius with news of some old-school fun and games at Goodison: “A few minutes after Everton’s equalizer, Tarkowski decided to elbow Muniz in the face while the referee was focusing elsewhere. Since the law didn’t seem to notice, Muniz decided to settle things in the old style, and kicked Tarkowski in the shin while facing away from him. Silva then decided to take his forward off before things escalated further.”

75 min: Miley is stripped of possession as he drives in from the left. He wants a free kick but he’s not getting one. And it’s nearly costly for Newcastle, as Sterling and Nkuku tear off on a two-on-one! Sterling romps down the middle, and will surely release Nkuku to his left … but overhits the pass and sends his new team-mate away from the danger zone. What a chance that was!

73 min: Newcastle continue to struggle to keep hold of the ball. “Wor lads look tired and need a lift,” observes Alun Pugh. “Does anybody know of any energy drinks?” Broon?

71 min: Nkunku’s entrance has re-energised Stamford Bridge. The hosts continue to power forward … only for the mood to turn sour when Sterling is booked for swan-diving over Trippier’s leg.

69 min: After waiting since the summer, Nkunku comes on for his Chelsea debut at last. He replaces Jackson.
