Manchester United and Arsenal being already qualified for the last four of the FA Cup, Chelsea and Leicester had the ambition to add to the list this Sunday afternoon. On the Foxes’ lawn, it was ultimately the Blues who won and who therefore managed to qualify.
Chelsea qualified thanks to a goal scored in the second period by the midfielder Ross Barkley, who took advantage of a center from Willian to conclude with a cross strike and give the advantage to his team (63).
Eight minutes earlier, Tammy Abraham thought he had scored, but the number 9 goal scored by the Blues was denied for an offside position. The rest of the meeting was rather poor, especially during a first period which was particularly rich in inaccuracies.
Dominated, the Foxes weren’t able to raise their level of play to manage to worry a Chelsea team that contented themselves with the minimum, namely to qualify for the last four of the FA Cup.
