Chelsea Challenges Arsenal in the FA Cup Final after Defeating Manchester United 1-3

DBasia.news – The duel of two clubs from the City of London will certainly color the FA Cup final. It happened after Chelsea won the final ticket after defeating Manchester United (MU) 1-3 in the semifinals.

Manchester United looked at the match against Chelsea with optimism. Understandably, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad has never lost in the last 19 matches. The last time Man United defeated was in January at the hands of Burnley.

However, Chelsea managed to reduce Manchester United’s sharpness in scoring goals. In fact, Chelsea had a 3-0 lead.

All three Chelsea goals were created by Olivier Giroud (45 + 1′), Mason Mount (46′), and Harry Maguire’s own goal (74′). Of the three goals, the second occurred because of David de Gea’s blunder.

Manchester United’s efforts in gaining goals only succeed once. That was through Bruno Fernandes’s penalty five minutes before the long whistle. Previously, Paul Pogba was violated in the forbidden box.

With these results, Chelsea will challenge Arsenal in the top game. Previously, The Gunners defeated Manchester City in the semifinals.

From statistics, Arsenal and Chelsea have met twice in the FA Cup final (2002 and 2007). The Gunners won two matches.

Based on Opta Joe’s record, Chelsea have eliminated Manchester United six times in the FA Cup. Three of the incisions occurred in the last four seasons.

Only Arsenal (7) made Manchester United kicked out more than what Chelsea carved.
