Chelsea FC have booked their place in the FA Cup final after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Leeds United at Wembley Stadium, Softfootball reports.
The decisive moment came through Enzo Fernández, whose header proved enough to separate the sides and secure Chelsea’s first goal against Premier League opposition since early March. Goalkeeper Robert Sánchez also played a crucial role, producing key saves to deny Leeds and preserve the narrow lead.
Leeds showed improved urgency after the break, controlling possession and creating chances, but were unable to find a breakthrough as Chelsea held firm to see out the win.
The result sends Chelsea into the final on May 16, where they will face Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, who advanced after defeating Southampton FC.
Fans quickly took to social media to react to both the performance and Chelsea season narrative.
