Chelsea defeated arch rivals, Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 to book a place in the finals of the English FA Cup.
In the thrilling encounter at Wembley Stadium, Chelsea twice led Spurs but the London neighbours always found a way to keep parity.
Brazilian Willian opened scoring for Chelsea in the fifth minute, but Harry Kane scored the equalizer 12 minutes after. In the 42nd minute a foul by Tottenham against Victor Moses gifted Willian his second goal via the resulting penalty kick.
But seven minutes after resumption of play, Dele Alli replied with his a goal to level proceedings with Chelsea.
Matters remained unsettled until the 75th minute when Eden Hazard, who came in as a substitute, scored for Chelsea, with the Belgian driving powerfully past Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris after 75 minutes.
Nemanja Matic set up an appearance alongside Arsenal or Manchester City in the FA Cup final with a spectacular drive five minutes later. His goal effectively put the match beyond Tottenham.
Spurs have now lost 7 FA Cup semi finals in a row: to Chelsea twice, Arsenal twice, Newcastle, Everton and P’mouth.
