ENGLAND—In Saturday’s (April 22) Emirates FA Cup semi final, Spurs played Chelsea and, in a thoroughly entertaining game, Chelsea prevailed 4-2, through a brace from Willian, and goals from Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic, after the first two goals had been pegged back with equalisers from Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

In Sunday’s game Arsenal won through to the final after winning their semi-final 2-1 against Manchester City after extra-time. Manchester City opened the scoring through

Sergio Aguero in the second half of normal time, only for Nacho Monreal to score the equaliser which took the game into the extra time. Arsenal scored the vital winning goal when Alexis Sanchez reacted first to a loose ball in front of goal to fire the ball into the net.
