March 22, 2021 5:52 am

Chelsea has booked a spot in the FA Cup semi-finals with a hard-fought home 2-nil win against Sheffield United this morning.

Blue’s Christian Pulisic was twice denied by away goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and Callum Hudson-Odoi shot over as the hosts looked to finish off the game.

David McGoldrick wasted a glorious chance to equalize as he sent a close-range diving header wide following John Lundstram’s right-wing cross before home goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga saved from Oliver McBurnie.
