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.

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.
