Pochettino's Chelsea, Nkunku, Carabao Cup Win and Fernandez Comments

Mauricio Pochettino discusses Chelsea's win over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. Mykhailo Mudryk saved the game with a stoppage-time equaliser.

Chelsea secured a win over Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, advancing to the semi-final after a penalty shootout that followed Mykhailo Mudryk's stoppage-time equaliser. The Blues had to come from behind after a first-half goal from Callum Wilson, and Enzo Fernandez left the field before the first 45 minutes were up. However, the west London side pushed hard to find a way back into the game, and Christopher Nkunku's debut helped lift the atmosphere.

Mudryk took advantage of a Kieran Trippier error to force penalties, and the Newcastle United defender then missed his spot kick. When Djordje Petrovic saved from Matt Ritchie, the home side could enter into jubilation.

Mauricio Pochettino expressed his satisfaction with the result and credited the players for their performance. He emphasized the importance of such games and the need to evolve and develop the team's ideas. Pochettino also mentioned the importance of the players' form and the need for time to perform at their best. He also addressed the incident of a fan coming onto the pitch, expressing his disappointment and emphasizing the need for caution and safety.
