Chelsea thumped Manchester United at the Wembley stadium to march into the FA Cup final. An own goal, accompanied by strikes from Olivier Giroud and Mason Mount secured the much-needed victory for the Blues. A late penalty from Bruno Fernandes reduced the deficit but was far from enough.Goalkeeping errors from David de Gea and an overall passive performance from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side meant they were never really at Chelsea's level.The Blues have done it! ⚡️🔵⚡️@ChelseaFC will play @Arsenal in the #HeadsUpFACupFinal on 1 August! We can’t wait! 🤩#EmiratesFACup #MUNCHE pic.twitter.com/DGqmqAIetB— The Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) July 19, 2020Arsenal.Chelsea.The next generation. ⚔️ pic.twitter.com/lF1qdrbOUF— B/R Football (@brfootball) July 19, 2020FT: Chelsea 3-1 Man United Wonderful win from Chelsea. Lampard's changes make them solid enough to stop the defensive problems against an in-form attack. Giroud rightly awarded MOTM w/ dominant striking play. De Gea poor but #CFC earned that luck. #FACup— Nizaar Kinsella (@NizaarKinsella) July 19, 2020It was a fair slow-burner in the opening exchanges of the game, as both teams plotted a three-man back line to cancel each other out on tactical terms.There were just two shots on target from both sides combined in the first 30 minutes or so, while the overall proceedings and physical battles made up for a real slug fest. In that time, unfortunately, Manchester United centre-half Eric Bailly was stretchered off following a head-on collision with Harry Maguire.We've had a short break while Man Utd's Maguire and Bailly both receive treatment after the pair clashed heads. We're now into five minutes of stoppage time at the end of the first half.🔴 0-0 🔵 [45+1'] #MUNCHE pic.twitter.com/yx8vNEUtgn— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 19, 2020Caballero header count: 2More on this as it develops #CFC— Liam Twomey (@liam_twomey) July 19, 2020Eric Bailly has been stretchered off with a head injury. Get well soon 🙏 pic.twitter.com/yZdNWiUHwO— B/R Football (@brfootball) July 19, 2020Quite a few fouls on Bruno Fernandes so far.— Simon Stone (@sistoney67) July 19, 2020Deep into injury time in the first-half, a sublime piece of play from Willian and Cesar Azpilicueta set the latter free, after which he crossed to goalscorer Giroud.The Frenchman continued his prime form for Chelsea with a lovely finish from near post, getting the better of Maguire with his movement.16 - Since his debut in the FA Cup in January 2013, Olivier Giroud has scored 16 goals in the competition - only Sergio Aguero (19) has netted more in this period.

Aguero another one. Fantastic mentality 👏🏻— Cesc Fàbregas Soler (@cesc4official) July 19, 2020Giroud is just so dependable pic.twitter.com/QcTNpfXIib— Alex Goldberg (@AlexGoldberg_) July 19, 2020Lindelof was on the wrong side of Obafemi for Southampton's equaliser and slow across/dodgy positioning for Giroud's goal there. You need your centre-half getting across and helping you out there. Defending that infuriates managers— James Ducker (@TelegraphDucker) July 19, 2020Olivier Giroud now has 7 goals in his last 9 starts & has now scored in two FA Cup semi-finals for Chelsea.Mr. Underrated. pic.twitter.com/UDj1fq2fin— LDN (@LDNFootbalI) July 19, 2020It was a well-taken, typical striker's finish, but de Gea's shot-stopping came under suspicion. While that was debatable on the surface level, his failure in keeping out Mason Mount's effort early on in the second half only added to his catalogue of high profile errors at Manchester United this season.David De Gea: pic.twitter.com/EReXGRKnJq— Goal (@goal) July 19, 2020Someone block Roy Keane's eyes— Melissa Reddy (@MelissaReddy_) July 19, 2020“Your thoughts on David de Gea there, Roy?” pic.twitter.com/UMukEkv8ZA— Sachin Nakrani (@SachinNakrani) July 19, 2020Man Utd now have the same problem Liverpool had until they signed Alisson. An increasingly unreliable goalkeeper who the manager continues to back.

Entrusted. pic.twitter.com/BWjqgi5t06— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) July 19, 2020Chelsea didn't sit back from then on, pressing United on in their half and still managing the better chances. They continued to win the ball back repeatedly and close down on red shirts in tight areas.This semi-final has been a great advert for the concussion protocol #CFC #MUFC— Liam Twomey (@liam_twomey) July 19, 2020Great anticipation, Reece James Having his best game yet for Chelsea imo— Mark Worrall (@gate17marco) July 19, 202020 minutes left in this semi-final, keep going Blues! ✊🔴 0-2 🔵 [70'] #MUNCHE pic.twitter.com/ztAOIdy0T8— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 19, 2020Manchester United were then handed the sucker punch by Chelsea on the back off some ponderous play in possession. The Blues, for the umpteenth time, pick-pocketed them as Alonso whipped in a dangerous cross towards Rudiger of all players. The ball deflected off Maguire's toes into the back of net.Man United want the whistle now.— Nizaar Kinsella (@NizaarKinsella) July 19, 2020One, two, three for @ChelseaFC! 🤩#EmiratesFACup #MUNCHE pic.twitter.com/6jr3yiLACC— The Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) July 19, 2020Bruno Fernandes did score a consolation goal to salvage something minute for the Red Devils, after Callum Hudson-Odoi gave away a cheap foul of Anthony Martial.Goal! @B_Fernandes8 coolly converts his late penalty.#MUFC #FACup pic.twitter.com/HeK4PBIWaJ— Manchester United (@ManUtd) July 19, 2020Chelsea concede their contractually obliged penalty to Manchester United #CFC #MUFC— Liam Twomey (@liam_twomey) July 19, 202017 - Since his debut for Man Utd in February, Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in more goals in all competitions than any other Premier League player in this period (9 goals, 8 assists).

The battle for the top four, however, still continues between these two giants.👀 London 5-0 Manchester pic.twitter.com/LKjG5dVGu3— SPORF (@Sporf) July 19, 2020Paul Pogba praying......for a new goalkeeper, a new centre-back, a new midfield partner and Jadon Sancho. #MUFC pic.twitter.com/CDsELsMo1W— Shamoon Hafez (@ShamoonHafez) July 19, 2020Seriously @ManUtd, go and play division 3 football till you actually find a manager and some decent players!
