So we’re at the stage that every fan dreams of, a day out at Wembley Stadium. Only the semi-finals, since the change in 2008, but nevertheless a huge day.

Chelsea and Tottenham were the visitors on Saturday evening, whilst Manchester City faced Arsenal the following day.

Firstly, Premier League title rivals Chelsea and Spurs went head-to-head at the national stadium, with Antonio Conte’s side prevailing 4-2 victors to storm into next month’s final.

Willian’s double inside the first-half, either side of Harry Kane’s temporary leveller for Tottenham, put Chelsea 2-1 up at the interval, before Dele Alli drew the North Londoners level once more just seven minutes into the second-half.

However, two strikes in the space of five minutes from Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic killed off Spurs in the final 15 minutes, seeing Conte’s Chelsea remain on track for the double this season.

Then, on Sunday, The Blues learned Arsenal would be their 2017 FA Cup final opponents after The Gunners saw off Man City 2-1 after extra-time.

It took until the 62nd minute for star striker Sergio Aguero to open the scoring for The Citizens, only for defender Nacho Monreal to equalise with 19 minutes remaining at Wembley, forcing an extra 30 minutes of play.

And in the 101st minute, key forward Alexis Sanchez stepped up to the plate and netted Arsenal’s eventual winner, securing their third FA Cup final in the last four campaigns.

So, after a thrilling semi-final stage, here is Shoot!‘s Player, Team and Goal of the FA Cup’s latest round…
