FA CUP SEMIS
MAN U 2-1 SPURS
HAPPY HERERA
Spurs started at a ferocious pace and fully deserved the
early lead they took after only 11 minutes when Dele Alli slid home a finish
from Christian Eriksen's cross after Davinson Sanchez's long pass opened up
Manchester United's defence.
Jose Mourinho's side survived the siege and levelled on 24
minutes, Wembley specialist Alexis Sanchez rising to direct an athletic header
across Spurs keeper Michel Vorm from Paul Pogba's perfect cross for his eighth
goal in eight appearances at the stadium.
Herrera's crisp low finish just after the hour put United in
the final.
MY
OPINION
There are people that believe
that there is a jinx on Spurs when it comes to cup semi-finals and am sort of
agreeing with it at the moment as I just wonder even with home advantage they can’t
win a semi. United will be going into the Cup final with a lot of confidence as
they should be seen as huge favourites.
SUN
CHELSEA 2-0 SOUTHAMPTON
GREAT GIROUD
Chelsea striker Giroud received the ball from Eden Hazard
and jinked his way past two Southampton players in a crowded area before he
stabbed the ball home.
Giroud was replaced by Alvaro Morata with 10 minutes to go
and the substitute sealed safe passage with Chelsea's second when he headed in
at the back post from Cesar Azpilicueta's cross.
MY
OPINION
I never had any hope for
Southampton in this tie since the draw was made and thought with the quality
that Chelsea have and having nothing else on that this would be a lot smoother
but when they did break the Saints down they did know how to kill them off.
Luton have been promoted to league 1, Wigan have been
promoted to the championship
