Chelsea Avoid Leicester City Scare To Cruise Into FA Cup Semi-Finals
Chelsea booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals with a 1-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday, but they were made to work hard for their victory.
Leicester City, who won the FA Cup in 2021, started brightly and had the best of the chances in the first half. However, Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was in inspired form and made a number of key saves to keep his side in the game.
Chelsea took the lead in the 63rd minute when Hakim Ziyech's cross was headed home by Timo Werner. Leicester City pushed for an equaliser but were unable to break down a resolute Chelsea defence.
Chelsea will now face Crystal Palace in the semi-finals, while Leicester City's attention will turn to the Premier League, where they are currently 13th in the table.
