A lone goal from N’Golo Kane is enough to see Chelsea through to the semi-finals. It was a stormy quarter-final with Conte and Mourinho clash on the touchline.
In a turbulent night, Chelsea reached the semi-finals with an only goal from N’Golo Kante in the second 45′, to remain on course to achieve a domestic Double.
The contention between former Chelsea boss José Mourinho and the current boss Antonio Conte, was the sending off of midfielder Ander Herrera in the first half for a second foul on Eden Hazard. Both managers clashed on the touchline and had to be separated by the fourth official.
Moreover the Special One was also the target of his former fans as he was continually verbally insulted at the scene of his many triumphs, including three titles.
For United who had Zlatan Ibrahimovic suspended, and both Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial injured, the best chance fell to Marcus Rashford, but Thibaut Courtois saved with his feet to keep the Red Devils at bay.
And now the semi-finals at Wembley which will see an all London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham, whilst Manchester City will take on Arsenal. For sure both games will produce a thrilling 90′.
