da esport bet： The winger netted a late equaliser to force a penalty shootout, and Petrovic completed the turnaround with the winning save to send the Blues through

da roleta： Mykhailo Mudryk and Djordje Petrovic emerged as Chelsea's unlikely heroes in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, as the Blues came back from the brink of defeat to secure a 4-2 penalty shootout victory over Newcastle on Tuesday night.

The hosts started brightly enough, with Conor Gallagher thumping the crossbar, but Mauricio Pochettino was forced to rewrite his gameplan after just 16 minutes as Callum Wilson pounced on an ugly error from the hapless Benoit Badiashile to open the scoring.

Raheem Sterling spurned a gilt-edged chance to level on the half-hour mark as he blasted a shot straight at Bruno Guimaraes in front of the goalkeeper. That prefaced a dominant second half for Chelsea, but they had to wait until stoppage time to eke out a leveller, with another mistake – this time from Kieran Trippier – putting the ball on a plate for substitute Mudryk.

That took the game to penalties, where Chelsea were flawless. After Trippier had missed, spot-kick specialist Petrovic made the crucial save from Matt Ritchie's effort to snatch the semi-final place from Newcastle's grasp.

Here are GOAL's Chelsea player ratings from Stamford Bridge…

GettyGoalkeeper & Defence

Djordje Petrovic (7/10):

Given little chance with the goal but had nothing to do otherwise in normal time. Kept his concentration to make the vital shootout save.

Axel Disasi (6/10):

Another solid outing out of position at right-back. Perhaps could have had more attacking impetus.

Thiago Silva (7/10):

Back to something like his best as he timed countless challenges to perfection as his side left themselves open to the counter.

Benoit Badiashile (3/10):

Horrible, horrible error having initially defended so well against Wilson's driving run, mis-controlling and bobbling the ball back into the striker's path. Regained his composure but the damage was done.

Levi Colwill (5/10):

His hospital pass led indirectly to the opener. Did get forward well but picked up a knock and was forced off at the break. Will be glad of VAR's absence.

Moises Caicedo (7/10):

Perhaps fortunate there was no VAR after catching Anthony Gordon high on the back of his leg inside two minutes. Still managed to put in an impressively combative display despite that booking.

Conor Gallagher (6/10):

The captain showed his intent as he planted a shot onto the woodwork inside 10 minutes. Typically industrious but couldn't haul his team over the line in normal time. Took his penalty well.

Enzo Fernandez (5/10):

Constantly looked to get on the ball but was forced off half an hour in due to illness.

GettyAttack

Cole Palmer (5/10):

Drifted in and out of the game as Chelsea looked to engineer an equaliser. Did his bit in the shootout.

Nicolas Jackson (5/10):

Burst into life in the second half but couldn't take his clearest opportunity. Replaced by Christopher Nkunku.

Raheem Sterling (6/10):

Chelsea's brightest attacker for the most part. Really should have levelled but saw a goal-bound effort well blocked. Frustrating night.

GettySubs & Manager

Armando Broja (5/10):

On early for Fernandez. Saw a good finish chalked off for offside but was a little cumbersome overall.

Malo Gusto (6/10):

On at the break to cover at left-back. Certainly provided some attacking thrust and contributed to the leveller with a testing cross.

Christopher Nkunku (5/10):

Finally, a debut for the Frenchman! Wasn't really able to get involved, though. Crashed home his penalty.

Mykhailo Mudryk (8/10):

Stepped up when it mattered most! Capitalised on Trippier's mistake and just about did enough with his finish. Coolly scored hit spot-kick, too.

Ian Maatsen (6/10):

Made a difference as an attacking left wing-back.

Mauricio Pochettino (7/10):

Chelsea were the better team, especially in the second half, so the manager deserves credit. Many would have expected his side to fold given their fragile confidence this season, but they showed real mettle to pull off an unlikely comeback.
