Every word Mauricio Pochettino said on Chelsea win, Nkunku, Carabao Cup progress and Fernandez

Mauricio Pochettino had another win to discuss at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening as Chelsea overcame Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup. It took a penalty shootout after Mykhailo Mudryk saved the game with a stoppage-time equaliser but the Blues progressed to the semi-final of the competition.

The night saw Chelsea have to come from behind after a first half goal from Callum Wilson, as they also saw Enzo Fernandez leave the field before the first 45 minutes were up. The west London side pushed hard to find a way back into the game and Stamford Bridge saw Christopher Nkunku's debut, which 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, it was all over and the home side could enter into jubilation.

football.london recounts every word of Pochettino's reaction.

Pleased with the result?

I am so pleased and the players deserve some credit. After conceding the way we did, we didn't deserve to concede, it can affect any team. We reacted really well and dominated the game against a very good team like Newcastle. Then we keep pushing in the second half and make some changes and of course, try to provide the team with some impact. The most important in football is to believe until the end and that was possible because we keep believing and then always we know penalties are a lottery. Of course, talent and quality. Of course, so pleased because our objective before the game was to go through to the semi-final. We are in the semi-final and now we need to move on and wait tomorrow and then be focused and be ready for the next Premier League game.
