After an eventful EFL Cup quarter-final clash full of drama and errors, Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk has provided support to Newcastle’s Kieran Trippier following a critical mistake that altered the game’s course on Tuesday night.
The match saw a thrilling turnaround for the Blues, securing a spot in the EFL Cup’s semi-finals after an intense battle against Newcastle that ended in a dramatic penalty shootout.
Despite trailing from the 16th minute until the 92nd, a crucial error from Trippier shifted the momentum, Footballrover reports.
Mudryk capitalised on the mistake, equalising for Chelsea and ultimately leading the game to a shootout, where Trippier’s penalty miss further contributed to Newcastle’s defeat.
Trippier, enduring a rough patch in his recent performances, faced backlash for his errors, notably the one that allowed Mudryk to level the score.
Mudryk, extending support through an Instagram post, encouraged Trippier, acknowledging the challenges footballers face and highlighting his resilience.
“Kieran, I just wanna say to you: stay strong. Sometimes s**t happens but I think you are strong footballer, no matter what”. Mudryk’s message to Trippier on Instagram.
The game’s outcome favoured the Mauricio Pochettino side, advancing them to the semi-finals, while Newcastle faced disappointment as they exited the tournament.
Looking ahead, Chelsea will now gear up for a two-legged semi-final clash in January, with an upcoming match against Wolves on Sunday, while Newcastle braces for an encounter with Luton Town after a series of injuries.
