A 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace was enough for Chelsea to book their place in the FA Cup final. They will face Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in May.

Goals from academy products Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount was enough to condemn the Eagles to defeat at Wembley. Thomas Tuchel's side had to endure a cagey first-half affair, with nothing really of note happening in that clash.

But their class oozed in the second-half, as Loftus-Cheek - on for the injured Mateo Kovacic, who was withdrawn after just 26 minutes of play - hammered home an impressive strike from just inside the penalty area. Mount doubled the lead just eleven minutes later after he calmly controlled Timo Werner's delicate pass and edged his effort into the bottom right corner.
