Another pen and stinker for Trippier

STUCK IN THE MUD

IT never rains but it pours for Newcastle United and Kieran Trippier at the moment.

As if the England full-back’s two glaring mistakes at Everton a fortnight ago weren’t bad enough, he almost single-handedly booked Chelsea’s path into the last four here.

First, his poor header allowed Mykhaylo Mudryk to level the game at 1-1 in the 92nd minute and then he was one of two Toon players, along with Matt Ritchie, to miss in the shoot-out.

All four Blues players found the net from 12 yards, including £52m summer signing Christopher Nkunku after he made his injury-delayed debut.

Chelsea, in 10th place in the Premier League after a difficult start, celebrated wildly the dramatic win and a semi-final spot.

Substitute Mudryk had levelled in second-half injury time after Trippier’s mistake.
