Chelsea will face Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, after beating defending champions Manchester United 1-0 in their heated quarter-final at Stamford Bridge.

N’Golo Kante’s second half strike was enough to knock Jose Mourinho’s side out of the competition.

United played the majority of the match with 10 men, after Ander Herrera was sent off midway through the first half for picking up two yellow cards.

It was the second time Mourinho has revisited Stamford Bridge since taking charge of Manchester United; both of which have ended in defeat for the Portuguese manager.

The hosts should’ve won more comfortably after a one sided second half.

The London derby semi-final between the Blues and Tottenham will take place on the weekend of the 22nd/23rd of April.

The victory for Antonio Conte’s side was their 13th consecutive victory at Stamford Bridge; having not lost there since September, where they were beaten 2-1 by Liverpool.
