00:00 So incredible doesn't even begin to describe it because for large parts of
00:05 this game everybody thought that Newcastle would go through not because
00:08 they dominated it but because Chelsea just didn't look like they would be able
00:12 to find a way to unlock Newcastle but then came Kieran Trippier first who made
00:18 a really big mistake. Mikaela Modric went in straight and got the equalizer
00:23 then on penalties Trippier again missed his key. That was a turning moment of the game.
00:28 Newcastle United in the end ran out of four, ran out of legs but Chelsea took
00:33 their chances in that they never gave up they kept on going and in the end they
00:39 make it to the last four of the League Cup. So the dream is still alive and I
00:44 have to say maybe this is the best atmosphere I've seen here at Stamford
00:48 Bridge where the fans were on end to the dramatic and the electric one. A lot of
00:53 players really kept going Sterling was quite really bright and Parchett's goal
00:57 part of the same and yeah you can say they deserved it in the end given how
01:03 positive the approach was. Rafe what did you think? I thought both teams kind of
01:10 showed where they're at at the moment. Newcastle started the game with a lot of intensity, pressed high.
01:18 Canterbury took the chance well. They were pretty solid when defending but as the game went on
01:23 like it's been a lot the case with any house men and the number of games they
01:28 had they ran out of legs towards the end and what we've seen is mistakes made from the tyre players and that's what happened.
01:36 We're here in Trippier and I'd say it was a similar thing with Chelsea.
01:40 Richard Puch and those men have often played well but they just haven't had that killer touch, that incisive pass.
01:48 That was the same again. Raheem certainly had a lot of chances which fluffed him a bit.
01:55 There was one time when he was dribbling through but elected to pass instead of just driving for goal and shooting.
02:02 It was good to see Grissom couldn't do it mate because he's a competitive date.
02:06 He was here at Stamford Bridge tonight and although he was a bit peripheral he made a more direct attack.
02:13 There was a real atmosphere here towards the end and I think Richard Puch's team has been searching for that moment
02:19 when he can really connect with the fans and maybe this is the first time he's really got that.
