Chelsea advanced to the FA Cup final after a 1-0 victory over Leeds United at Wembley Stadium. Enzo Fernández scored the only goal of the match in the 23rd minute, heading in a precise cross from Pedro Neto. This victory is significant for Chelsea, who recently sacked head coach Liam Rosenior after a streak of five consecutive Premier League defeats. Under interim coach Calum McFarlane, Chelsea displayed a much-improved performance, shaking off their recent poor form. Leeds United, on the other hand, failed to capitalize on their opportunities, with Brenden Aaronson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin among those unable to convert chances. Chelsea will face Manchester City in the final on May 16, marking their first FA Cup final appearance since losing to Liverpool in 2022. Historically, Chelsea has been a dominant force in the FA Cup, winning the trophy seven times since Leeds last reached the semifinals in 1987.
