Chelsea ousted their guests Newcastle United from the English Football League Cup quarter-finals in a dramatic fashion. The Blues clinched their spot in the semi-finals after an exciting finish, as the match concluded in a 1-1 draw at the end of regular time. Callum Wilson put Newcastle in the lead in the 16th minute, but Ukrainian player Mykhailo Mudryk scored the equalizer for the Blues in the 92nd minute.

Chelsea snatched the equalizing goal in the dying moments of the game, setting the stage for penalties. In the shootout, London's team triumphed with a 4-2 score, thanks to their goalkeeper Dordije Petrović, who saved two penalty kicks.

Newcastle United squandered their opportunity to progress in the final moments, thereby ending their run of ousting top teams after previously having knocked out Manchester United and Manchester City in earlier rounds.

In a similarly thrilling scenario, Fulham advanced to the next stage after drawing 1-1 with hosts Everton, ultimately winning 7-6 on penalties.

The League Cup quarter-final matches will wrap up with a fixture between Liverpool and West Ham United at Anfield on Wednesday.
