Chelsea booked their third successive FA Cup semi-final appearance on Saturday with a confident 2-0 victory against Middlesbrough. Romelu Lukaku got the Blues off to the perfect start at the Riverside with a close range finish.
In-form Hakim Ziyech then added his name to the scoresheet with another stunning long-range effort as Thomas Tuchel’s men cruised into the last four - a remarkable achievement considering the immense external noise surrounding Stamford Bridge at the current time. They will now face any of Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, Everton, Southampton and Man City as they aim to book another final date come the end of the season.
With that being said, football.london takes a look at how the national media reacted to Chelsea’s victory against Middlesbrough.
