Chelsea Revitalized Following Managerial Change

Manager-less Chelsea earned the right to salvage something from their waning season by battling past Leeds in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley on Sunday, courtesy of Enzo Fernandez's first-half header.

Match Highlights and Key Performances

Chelsea looked completely revitalised following Liam Rosenior's midweek sacking and the return of top-scorer Joao Pedro to the starting line-up, but it was Leeds who had the first clear sighting of goal as Robert Sanchez produced a sublime save to deny Brenden Aaronson one on one a quarter of an hour in.

  • Enzo Fernandez scored the winning goal for Chelsea.
  • Chelsea will face Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
  • Joao Pedro returned to the starting line-up for Chelsea.
