Crystal Palace win: Chelsea follow Liverpool into FA Cup final

Thanks to goals from Mount & Loftus-Cheek

Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea have reached the final of the FA Cup and will face Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool on May 14th. The Blues defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 (0-0) in the semifinals in front of 76,238 spectators at London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday and have the chance of their ninth success in the oldest football competition in the world. Ruben Loftus-Cheek (65′) and Mason Mount (76′) scored the goals.

With the DFB trio of Antonio Rüdiger, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner in the starting line-up, the Tuchel team didn’t really get into the game in the first 45 minutes. Only a yellow card after a swallow by Havertz caused a stir in the opposing penalty area. After the break, a header from Cheikhou Kouyaté landed just wide of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy’s goal (61′). Then came Chelsea: A pass from Havertz threw Loftus-Cheek into the net to take the lead (65′). Mount made the decision after a pass from Werner (76th). Romelu Lukaku with a post shot (90th) and Rüdiger (90th + 1) missed the third goal.

Liverpool are waiting for the final after beating Manchester City in the last four the day before. The Reds took an early 2-0 lead thanks to Ibrahima Konaté (9′) and Sadio Mané (17′), before the latter even increased before half-time (45′). In the second round, the “Citizens” made it exciting when they reduced the lead to 2:3 after goals from Jack Grealish (47′) and Bernardo Silva (90’+1′).
