Chelsea somehow survived a late 1-1 draw to defeat Newcastle 4-2 on penalties to book their place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

Here was another dagger in the chest right at the end, following the late anguish of the contentious penalty against Paris Saint-Germain that ultimately proved costly in the Champions League. Two minutes into the match, Mykhailo Mudryk sent an intense draw to a penalty shootout, which put the Magpies one point away from their first-ever away triumph in a League Cup quarterfinal. And how, with the home fans about to flip, Mauricio Pochettino needed that.

In the third minute of injury time, the Ukrainian scored a goal after taking advantage of a mistake made by Kieran Trippier. The Newcastle defender then failed to convert his penalty kick, and Djordje Petrovic came to the rescue by tipping over Matt Ritchie's attempt. Though their traveling supporters continued to cheer for Howe and his squad, this has been a painful time both physically and figuratively.
