Fernandez fires Chelsea to FA Cup final showdown with Man City
Enzo Fernandez settled an FA Cup semi-final with a first-half header at Wembley. The goal came against Leeds United as Chelsea made a winning start after Liam Rosenior's sacking.
Calum McFarlane was put in interim charge until the end of the season. Daniel Farke's side had the game's first big opportunity when Brenden Aaronson raced clear from Dominic Calvert-Lewin's touch, but Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez made a crucial save. Chelsea went ahead after 23 minutes when Fernandez met Pedro Neto's cross. Joao Pedro struck the foot of the post. Anton Stach forced a diving save from Sanchez, then Calvert-Lewin missed an opportunity. Chelsea closed out the win, a response to Rosenior's dismissal after only 106 days.
Calum McFarlane will now lead Chelsea out against Manchester City on Saturday, 16 May. Leeds' hopes of reaching a first FA Cup final since they lost to Sunderland in 1973 were dashed. Chelsea will now attempt to end a run of losing their past three FA Cup finals.
