Getty ImagesEnzo Maresca's backline looked shaky once again as Chelsea were dumped out of the Carabao Cup at the hands of Newcastle United
Chelsea's Carabao Cup run came to a sorry end with a dismal 2-0 defeat at Newcastle United on Wednesday.
After Joelinton hit the post early on from close range, Alexander Isak gave the hosts the lead in the 23rd minute after their high press forced the Blues into a mistake.
Three minutes later the Magpies doubled their advantage as Axel Disasi bundled the ball into his own net after the visitors – who left Cole Palmer on the bench – were caught napping from a free-kick.
Enzo Maresca made 11 changes from the side that beat Newcastle at the weekend in the Premier League and it showed as they deservedly lost to Eddie Howe's men.
The Italian, who lost the tactical battle as they couldn't handle the Toon's pressing style, won't be too impressed with his B team as they exited the competition at the last 16 stage.
