Chelsea beat Spurs to reach FA Cup final

It was a beautiful afternoon for all Chelsea fans at Wembley as Chelsea squared up against England's most in-form team, Tottenham, who have been able to cut down Chelsea's lead in the English Premier League to four points. The prize is a place in the final of the 2017 FA Cup.

Twice Willian put Chelsea in front — from a free kick in the fifth minute and from a penalty two minutes before halftime — but Tottenham came back each time through Harry Kane's flicked header and Dele Alli's strike.
Despite Tottenham posing the greater threat after Alli latched onto Christian Eriksen's exquisite long pass in the 52nd minute, the north London club had nothing to show for its dominance. And a double substitution by Antonio Conte after an hour swung the semifinal back in Chelsea's favor with Hazard arriving on the pitch with top-scorer Diego Costa.
A third Chelsea substitute, Cesc Fabregas, set up Hazard's goal within a minute of being brought on. The midfielder's corner was inadvertently flicked on by Tottenham defender Kyle Walker. Then Chelsea's return trip to Wembley for the final next month was secured by Matic in spectacular fashion, with Conte's side asserting its strength over Tottenham as the ended 4-2 in Chelsea's favour.

Chelsea will await the winner of the second semi final between Arsenal and Manchester City.
