Enzo heads Blues into FA Cup final
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.
