Eddie Howe refuses to blame Kieran Trippier as defender’s error sees Newcastle United dumped out of cup by Chelsea

by gulftimes



LONDON: Eddie Howe believes Kieran Trippier deserves support not criticism after his latest high-profile error contributed to Newcastle United being dumped out of the Carabao Cup.

Last season’s runners up were beaten 4-2 on penalties by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, having been leading up until the 92nd minute, thanks to Callum Wilson’s opener. However, with less than 90 seconds remaining Trippier’s poorly executed header back to Martin Dubravka fell kindly for Mykhailo Mudryk, who tucked home an injury-time leveller to take the clash to penalties.
