Chelsea have booked their place in the FA Cup final after edging past Leeds United in a tightly contested semi-final at Wembley Stadium. The decisive moment arrived just before the break, when Enzo Fernández rose highest to power home a precise header, ultimately separating the two sides.

The victory marks a significant milestone for Callum McFarlane, who secures his first win in charge after replacing Liam Rosenior.

Attention now turns to a blockbuster final against Manchester City on May 16. For all the turbulence surrounding the club this season, Chelsea suddenly find themselves within touching distance of major silverware.
