Chelsea smashes Man United and will face Arsenal in the FA Cup Final
We're going to have an all London FA Cup Final and Wembley on August 1! After Arsenal stunned Manchester City on Saturday 2-0, Chelsea followed that up with an incredible performance against Manchester United.
On Sunday, the Blues truly dominated United, leaving the stadium with a strong 3-1 win. From start to finish, this was all Chelsea.

Olivier Giroud opened the scoring in stoppage time of the first half with a brilliant effort which somehow made its way past David De Gea. At the halftime break, Chelsea was up 1-0.
Right at the start of the second half, Chelsea doubled its lead in the 46th minute when Mason Mount fired off a shot which looked like it'd be saved by De Gea. Instead, the United keeper had a moment to forget, letting the ball bounce off his fingertips to give Chelsea a 2-0 lead.

Then in the 74th minute, Chelsea went up 3-0 after an own goal was produced by United's Harry Maguire, who himself had a rough day on the pitch. United couldn't really muster anything up throughout the game, but earned a penalty kick late and closed the scoring at 3-1 with a goal from Bruno Fernandes.
It was far too little too late for Man United, as Chelsea celebrated after the final whistle following such a brilliant performance. Now, Chelsea will look to lift the FA Cup once again early next month. It should be a great showdown between them and the Gunners.
