CHELSEA fans have been delighting in Djordje Petrovic\u2019s mind games after the little-known goalkeeper\u2019s heroics against Newcastle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blues advanced to the Carabao Cup semi-final draw after a dramatic comeback to beat the Magpies on penalties last night.<\/p>\n

Callum Wilson\u2019s 16th-minute strike looked to be enough to send Newcastle into the last four before Mykhailo Mudryk pounced on Kieran Trippier\u2019s error deep in stoppage time to send the game to the spot-kick lottery.<\/p>\n

Toon\u2019s 33-year-old England international full-back then fired their second penalty wide in the shootout.<\/p>\n

And after Chelsea had converted each of their kicks, Petrovic made himself the new hero of Stamford Bridge by saving Matt Ritchie\u2019s effort to advance into the semis.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Serbian \u2018keeper signed a seven-year deal after joining the Blues from MLS club New England Revolution in August.<\/p>\n

And after waiting for his opportunity, he has started the last three matches after the injury to regular No.1 Robert Sanchez.<\/p>\n

He played in the 2-0 Premier League defeat at Everton before keeping a clean sheet in the 2-0 win over Sheffield United at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Now he appears to be a firm fan favourite after his exploits ahead of his crucial penalty save from Ritchie were spotted.<\/p>\n

Just as the winger was preparing to run up, Petrovic was spotted pointing to his right, indicating to Ritchie he knew he was going to go that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust look at the mind games from Chelsea GK Djordje Petrovic before making the match-winning penalty save against Newcastle,\u201d highlighted one account on X, formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n

Another wrote: \u201cYou can just tell that Petrovic is going to have an amazing career at Chelsea \u2014 we only paid \u00a314m for him too, what a bargain.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third commented: \u201cHigh pens are tough to stop. This guy is really good.<\/p>\n

\u201cDjordje Petrovic is a very good goalkeeper.\u201d<\/p>\n

While another declared that he was \u201cmy new Blue hero\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, Petrovic\u2019s penalty save came as no shock to one supporter.<\/p>\n

Another one added: \u201cPetrovic had saved five penalties in 48 matches with the New England Revolution. No surprise he came up big for Chelsea.\u201d<\/p>\n
