FA Cup Replay: Chelsea 1-0 Man Utd

Chelsea knocked Manchester United out of the quarter-final of the FA Cup to set up a mouthwatering semi-final showdown against Manchester City. Demba Ba lost his marker and allowed a ball from Juan Mata to drop over his shoulder before volleying in past David de Gea. De Gea's opposite number, Petr Cech, then turned hero at the other end with a fine save in what was otherwise a surprisingly low-key affair. The Blues will take confidence from the victory, after a disappointing defeat by Southampton last Saturday and it sets them up nicely for their Thursday Europa League match against Rubin Kazan. A victory in this match could mean a disharmonious season ending on a high.

United left to concentrate on league

Manchester United must now put their disappointment about the end to their chase for a league and cup double behind them and focus on landing the league title. The Red Devils had appeared to be well on their way to the last four in the cup after leading Chelsea 2-0 but a late Blues rally forced a replay. The tie was squeezed into a busy late season schedule and United have been dumped out of the cup by Chelsea.
