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…

Player of the Round: Willian (Chelsea)

With Eden Hazard and Diego Costa surprisingly and controversially benched by Antonio Conte, and The Blues missing Gary Cahill too, Chelsea looked unusually vulnerable for their FA Cup semi-final.

Without their main men, they were going to need someone else to fill the void, and that man was to be Willian.

The Brazilian was on it from the word go, and opened the scoring in a highly eventful game. Pedro’s tricky run could only have been stopped by a foul from Toby Alderweireld, and from the resulting free-kick, Willian placed it sumptuously in the side netting, beyond the helpless Hugo Lloris.

After Spurs equalised through Harry Kane, yet again it was Willian who took responsibility and put The Blues back in the lead before half-time.

Heun-min Son was adjudged to have fouled Victor Moses in the box, and Willian stepped up with a cool head to send goalkeeper Lloris the wrong way.

Team of the Round: Arsenal

Monreal (Left).

Like it has been a few time over the recent years, the FA Cup was the last remaining piece of silverware up for grabs to save Arsenal’s season, and this time, potentially Arsene Wenger’s future.

In a season where the team has received more criticism than ever, their bottle, desire and mentality have been the most things questioned by fans. But that couldn’t have been doubted this time.

Trailing to Sergio Aguero’s second-half goal, The Gunners needed to score at least once to at least force extra-time.

The goal came with twenty minutes to go, from an unlikely source as Nacho Monreal netted for the first time since March 2015, which was coincidentally in the FA Cup too.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s cross was too high for Olivier Giroud, but it was met superbly on the volley by the Spaniard.

In extra-time Arsenal rode their luck, as City hit the woodwork twice through Yaya Toure and Fernandinho.

But in the end, they defied the odds, and defied their critics. They managed to hang on in there and Alexis Sanchez managed to pounce when the ball dropped his way, to fire Arsenal into the final.

Goal of the Round: Nemanja Matic (Chelsea)

Tottenham had come from behind twice in the game already, so Chelsea could take nothing for granted at 3-2 up.

With a fourth goal needed to just about take the game out of Spurs’ reach, Serbian Nemanja Matic provided an absolute screamer to do just that.

Hazard’s neat footwork took him away from a couple of Spurs defenders, but was forced away from goal, so he laid the ball off to Matic, who absolutely smashed it home from 25 yards out.

Firing in off the underside of the bar, it always looks better doesn’t it!

The Nemanja Matic goal gets better every time you watch it!
