In the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on 19 December, Chelsea host Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge. Both teams will be hoping to qualify for the tournament. Despite Chelsea's dominance in the game, Callum Wilson scored a goal for Newcastle due to a defensive error. However, Chelsea equalised in stoppage time following a mistake by Kieran Trippier to send the game to penalties.
In the end, Chelsea emerged victorious. One incident that drew criticism from Chelsea fans during the match involved Moises Cahido. In the 51st minute, Newcastle's Anthony Gordon went down injured in the Chelsea half. As this is not a head injury, the referee and the Chelsea players are under no obligation to stop the game.
However, Cahedo decided to kick the ball out of bounds, causing displeasure among Chelsea supporters. Early in the game, Cahedo was also shown a yellow card for a foul on Gordon. Gordon was unable to continue the game and was replaced by Matt Rich. Despite Cahido's unselfish sportsmanship, he has been under the radar of Chelsea fans. The incident highlighted the fans' strong desire to win and advance in the competition. However, Chelsea emerged victorious and qualified for the next round of the League Cup.
