The Blues End Middlesbrough`s Impressive Run In The FA Cup
Chelsea are through to the Semifinals of this season’s FA Cup. The Blues will be looking to go one step better than what they did last season.
Chelsea faced a very confident Middlesborough side. The Riverside club have eliminated Manchester United and Tottenham this season, so it was a tricky test.
However, Chelsea killed the game in the first half with goals from two forwards.
Match Summary
Lukaku’s goal after just 15 minutes added to the visitors’ sense of comfort as they were able to further settle into the match and pass calmly around Boro’s press. The lead was doubled 16 minutes later thanks to Ziyech’s strike from distance, which gave Tuchel’s side an unassailable lead. Wilder’s side were disappointing in the loss, failing to trouble Mendy at all with less than 40 percent possession despite being behind for more than an hour. The cup run comes to an end for Middlesbrough while Chelsea advance to the semi-finals!
