Chelsea‘s first game since the sacking of Liam Rosenior as head coach saw them reach the FA Cup final as the Blues beat Leeds United 1-0 at Wembley.
With Calum McFarlane taking interim charge for the second time this season after Rosenior’s departure on Wednesday, Chelsea were much improved from the dismal showing in the 3-0 loss at Brighton and Hove Albion that brought about the end of his tenure.
They were rewarded for a strong start to the semi-final when Enzo Fernandez headed home Pedro Neto’s right-wing cross to break the deadlock, and that proved to be the telling contribution.
Leeds were more impressive in the second half, but clear-cut chances for Daniel Farke’s side proved few and far between, as their bid for a first FA Cup final since 1972-73 came up short.
