Middlesbrough 0-2 Chelsea LIVE: Chelsea beat Middlesbrough with ease to reach the FA Cup Semi-final
Despite a great deal off off-field uncertainty, Chelsea picked up another impressive result by booking their place in the FA Cup semi-final with victory at Middlesbrough on Saturday evening.
It then took an incredible goal-line clearance from Anfernee Dijksteel to stop Chelsea adding a third before the break when he kept out Lukaku’s effort at the last moment. Further heroic blocks after the break kept out Mount and Timo Werner as Boro prevented the Blues from adding to their tally as they secured another cup semi-final under Thomas Tuchel.
