Match report: Chelsea 4-2 Leicester I’ll leave you with Jacob Steinberg’s report from Stamford Bridge, and don’t forget to join Tim for the big one at Old Trafford. Bye! Chelsea reaction: "Palmer"s IQ is amazing" Cole Palmer It was hard work. We know what Leicester are like with the manager Enzo (who worked with Palmer at Man City) – they’re a top team who play really good football. We’re delighted to go back to Wembley. I just try and help the team as much as possible – in tough moments and good moments. That’s what I’m there to do, that’s what I try to do. I’m looking forward to joining up with England and seeing the lads. It’s my second time with the group. Let’s see what the week brings. Carney Chukwuemeka Yeah I enjoyed that. The coach said, ‘Express yourself’, and I think that’s what I did. I’ve gotta thank my boy Cole for the one-two! Before the game he said he’d assist me if I come on, so fair play to him. His IQ is amazing, he knows the game – as soon as I played it to him and made the run I knew he’d fine me no matter what. It’s a big win. We’ve set ourselves a target to win a trophy this season and now we’re in the last four. We have to keep going, keep building as a team. But we’re getting there, definitely. The best is yet to come. Follow the build-up to Man Utd v Liverpool with the great Tim de Lisle. Full time: Chelsea 4-2 Leicester Chelsea are into the last four after a highly entertaining game that included six goals, including one of the great own goals, a red card, a missed penalty and a near mutiny. Gusto was involved, as he has been all day in attack, playing a square pass to Madueke 30 yards from goal. He held off Justin, zig-zagged past Akgun and curled a lovely shot over Stolarczyk. Edit: having seen the replay, Madueke’s shot took a big deflection off the sliding Justin, which is why the ball looped over Stolarczyk. Even so, the footwork to create the chance was lovely. GOAL! Chelsea 4-2 Leicester (Madueke 90+8) Noni Madueke seals it with a wonderful individual goal! 90+7 min Leicester have been pinned back ever since Doyle was sent off in the 73rd minute. That was the key moment of the game, which came with Leicester on top and Chelsea threatening to unravel. 90+6 min Coady is booked for pulling back Palmer. We’re done here. 90+4 min Cole Palmer has been relatively quiet today. He’s scored one, made one and should have had a second goal from the penalty spot. He oozes class and, more importantly, he knows how to use it to manufacture goals and assists. Jackson moved the ball infield from the left to Chukwuemeka, who flicked it to Palmer on the edge of the area and set off. Palmer dragged the ball nonchalantly behind his standing leg, bisecting two defenders perfectly, and Chukwuemeka ran through to slide the ball calmly through the legs of Stolarczyk. GOAL! Chelsea 3-2 Leicester (Chukwuemeka 90+2) Carney Chukwuemeka scores the winner after a piece of magic from Cole Palmer! 90+1 min: Chelsea substitution Ben Chilwell is on for Marc Cucurella. There will be eight minutes of added time. 90 min: Jackson misses a great chance! Gusto hares past a weary Dewsbury-Hall and cracks another cross that ricochets towards Jackson, 12 yards out. He leans back and sidefoots the bouncing ball over the bar. 89 min: Good save by Stolarczyk! Gusto drives a low cross towards Madueke, who openes his body to steer a deft first-time shot towards goal. Stolarczyk plunges to make a smart save and the loose ball is booted clear. 88 min I’m still giggling at the speed and sheer indignation of the booing after Sterling’s free-kick. I’ve never heard anything like it from a group of fans towards one of their own players. 86 min: Chelsea substitution Noni Madueke replaces Raheem Sterling, who is booed by a minority of the fans as he goes off. This is the modern way. 85 min Palmer twists Coady one way and then the other on the edge of the area, making room for a fierce shot that hits Faes in the face. He goes down and will need treatment. 84 min Leicester’s ten men are playing for extra-time, as you’d expect. They need to find some source of respite though because they haven’t crossed the halfway line in minutes. 83 min Chukwuemeka, who has been all business since coming on, whips over from the left side of the area. 81 min “That Twin Peaks clip is easily my favorite MBM running gag!” sys Joe Pearson. “Thanks!” Don’t thank me, thank BOB. 80 min Sterling, still being jeered by his own fans, finds Chukwuemeka, who plays in Palmer to his right. His shot is blocked at source by Vestergaard, a crucial bit of defending. 80 min “Regarding strikers who don’t fancy penalties, just get your keeper to take them,” says Simon McMahon. “Pressure, what pressure?” That penalty is the audio-visual definition of the word ‘blooter’. 78 min: Chelsea substitution More boos, really vitriolic stuff, when Carney Chukwuemeka comes on for Mykhailo Mudryk. Some of the fans are frothing, pointing at Mauricio Pochettino and chanting, “You don’t know what you’re doing.” Blimey, a Sunday stroll has turned into a mutiny. 78 min: Leicester substitution Conor Coady comes on for Wilfred Ndidi. 76 min That’s one of the strangest free-kicks I’ve ever seen. Not just the kick, which was comical, but the genuinely angry chorus of boos it elicited. 75 min Sterling charges towards the free-kick - eyes on the top corner, that’s where it’s going, oh-ho yes ladies and germs - and smashes the ball miles into orbit. It’s an awful free-kick, one of the greats really, and it is met with a chorus of boos from the home fans. I’m not sure he deserves that, though equally he shouldn’t have been taking the free-kick ahead of Cole Palmer. 74 min: Leicester substitution Before the free-kick is taken, James Justin replaces Stephy Mavididi (and Callum Doyle). 74 min Palmer is over the free-kick… NO PENALTY AND A RED CARD FOR DOYLE! 73 min It wasn’t a deliberate foul by Doyle, but he caught Jackson’s standing leg when he was through on goal. VAR check The first contact, possibly the only contact, was outside the area. If they overturn the penalty, can they send Doyle off for denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity? I think that’s what will happen. PENALTY TO CHELSEA! Chelsea break, Jackson charges through on goal and is tripped by Doyle. He’s booked. I wonder who will take it. 70 min Dewsbury-Hall gallops into space on the left and hammers a cross towards Daka. Cucurella gets a vital touch to divert the ball away from him. 68 min Chelsea are in real danger here. It’s such an unlikely twist after a first half in which they were increasingly comfortable, but Axel Disasi’s comedy own goal gave them the jitters. It has been a different game since then. 68 min “To really put it up Chelsea,” says Ian Copestake, “Leicester should bring on as many kids as they have available.” Does Conor Coady count? 67 min Mavididi is booked for pulling back Gusto. 66 min This is so open. Mudryk’s pass from the left side of the area finds Sterling, whose quick shot is crucially blocked by Vestergaard. 65 min Palmer curls over from the edge of the area, a not dissimilar effort to Mavididi’s goal. For a player of such rare class that’s a pretty decent chance.
