“Gather here let’s apologize to him”, “He deserved to be respected” – Chelsea fans sends apology message to 22-year-old Chelsea star after what he did win over Newcastle
Chelsea overcame an early setback to defeat Newcastle United on penalties and reach the semifinals of the Carabao Cup. The Blues showed grit and resilience to claim this key win over Eddie Howe’s side and get some revenge on their opponents.
Newcastle United had trounced Chelsea 4-1 under a month ago at St. James’ Park. The Blues defeated Sheffield United in the league last time out, picking up an important win to arrest their slump.
Chelsea fans were excited by the potential debut of Christopher Nkunku. The loudest ovation on the day, however, did not come for the Frenchman, but for winger Mykhailo Mudryk.
He came off the bench to score a leveler in the injury time at the end of the match. This sent the game to the penalties, where Chelsea triumphed. Mudryk was praised for his role in his side’s win. The club’s fans went on X to hail the Ukraine international for his telling contribution.
“MISHAAAAAA. HATERS COME OUTSIDE”
“Make your apologies as loud as your disrespect!!!”

Mykhailo Mudryk scored his third and arguably most important goal of the season to hand Chelsea a lifeline at Stamford Bridge. Mauricio Pochettino handed him a rest after he started four consecutive matches, but came off the bench to make a difference for his team.
