Chelsea 2-0 Sheffield United - make no mistake, we got away with that today. It was a disappointing performance in the final third from Chelsea who were nearly made to pay for it this afternoon.
Chelsea weathered a spirited second-half Sheffield United fightback to reach the FA Cup semi-finals with a 2-0 quarter-final victory at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues looked set to stroll through to a last-four spot at Wembley when Oliver Norwood's first-half own goal handed them the lead at the interval, but a thrilling Sheffield United rally pushed Thomas Tuchel's side right to the wire.
The Blades came alive in the second half and should have forced extra-time, but David McGoldrick squandered a gilt-edged header from six yards, before substitute Rhian Brewster lashed into the side-netting in stoppage-time.
Hakim Ziyech then made sure of the Chelsea victory - their 10th from 14 games under Tuchel - with their second goal with virtually the last kick of the game as the Blues joined Manchester City and Southampton in the last four - SkySports.
