N’Golo Kante's 51st-minute strike from the edge of the box proved to be decisive in this match. It was a closely contested tie with both the teams giving it their all to secure a place in the semifinals of the FA Cup.

Chelsea had the early advantage as Ander Herrara was sent off in the 35th minute itself. However, no matter what Mourinho tried to change, it was just not his and United's night. Chelsea's custodian Thibaut Courtois was also excellent on the day and pulled off some crucial saves.


A staggering fact is that Chelsea have not lost to The Red Devils at home since October 2012. The Blues lost on just 3 out of the previous 18 occasions the two giants of the Premier League clashed. It will be interesting to see how the two teams fare in the upcoming encounter.

There are some more eagerly awaited matches coming up as Tottenham will square off with West Ham while Arsenal face Leicester City this weekend.


Will Mourinho be able to end his former club's dream start to the season? Do share your opinion in the comments section below.
