Match thread: Chelsea vs Leeds | FA Cup Semi-final
FULL-TIME Chelsea 1-0 Leeds
And that is that!
Chelsea do enough at Wembley to book their slot in the final, where they will face Manchester City.
Enzo Fernandez's first half goal was enough to send the London side through to their 17th FA Cup final and after such a dismal run in the Premier League, there is something to smile about if you hail from the blue side of London.
Leeds gave it their all, particularly in the second half but it was not enough, with Chelsea looking more like a Chelsea side we have grown accustomed to seeing.
