      Chelsea 4 Leicester 2: Blues leave it late to book place in FA Cup semi-final after horror own-goal and Foxes red card

      by

      MAURICIO POCHETTINO booked Chelsea a dramatic return trip to Wembley exactly three weeks after the last one in a thrilling battle.But forget the magic of the FA Cup – the smell of bitterness and frustration overpowered any scent of romance.Chelsea booked passage into the FA Cup semi-final with a late flourish against LeicesterCredit: GettyChelsea had most of the match possession and shotsChelsea dominated much of the gamePochettino’s team finally overcame a ten man team from the Championship thanks to a stylish winner from sub Carney Chukwuemeka two minutes into added time and a stunner from Noni Madueke in the dying seconds to wrap it up.But the booing and cries of ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ during a tortuous tie tainted the feeling of triumph.Chelsea blew a 2-0 lead which was bad enough. But Rahem Sterling was subjected to jeering and chants of ‘get him off’ as the winger endured a nightmare game which spilled over into resentment aimed at boss Pochettino.Sterling missed a penalty after relieving regular spot kick taker Cole Palmer in the first half following deep discussions.He had earlier missed a cracking chance to score. And when he put a free kick on the edge of the box high into the top tier of Stamford Bridge’s Matthew Harding Stand, enough was enough.The fans turned and booed him and the manager as the last chance of a trophy this season and qualifying for Europe under their own steam seemed to be disappearing fast.When Sterling was finally taken off to be replaced by goalscorer Madueke, there was even more negativity aimed at one of Chelsea’s most senior players.Ultimately, Pochettino’s team is now into the FA Cup semi finals and the last Championship team is out in game Leicester.Cole Palmer was a star of the show with a goal and assistCredit: ReutersCole Palmer put in a Man of the Match displayBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERThey are two wins from silverware and the Europa League next season instead of relying on coefficients through the Premier League’s European teams this term.Marc Cucurella gave them the perfect start with a goal after 13 minutes. It was his first for the club and it should have been the platform for the Premier League side to settle.Chelsea’s plans for £1bn new stadiumWhen Sterling was brutally upended in the box by clumsy Leicester winger Abdul Fatawu 12 minutes later the chance was there to put the tie to bed long from the penalty spot before half time.But Sterling’s determination to prove himself was his undoing and the lame shot at Jakub Stolarczyk gave City and their noisy 5,000 fans belief.At two up, Disasi struck six minutes into the second halfUnder pressure from Patson Daka but seemingly out of harm’s way on Chelsea’s right flank, centre half Axel Disasi turned to hit a pass back to keeper Robert Sanchez.The chip was overhit and miscued while Sanchez was a long way off his line and watched helplessly as the punt intended for him sailed into his empty net for a cracking own goal.Neither Chelsea player coated themselves in glory and of course it rattled the nerves. And as Sterling’s day deteriorated, so did Chelsea’s.Raheem Sterling did not have his finest day in front of goal for Chelsea as he missed a pen, a glaring one-on-one and ballooned a free-kick miles wideCredit: APSterling was wasteful in front of goalAt least this time it was a moment of magic that ignited this Cup tie.Stephy Mavididi shimmied into the box with a double stepover to bamboozle Malo Gusto before curling a delightful curling shot into the far corner to equalise.Chelsea were on the ropes and flung everything forwards and Nicolas Jackson was tripped running into the box by Callum Doyle. VAR spotted it outside of the box – just but Doyle’s booking was upgraded to a red card.City hung on as best they could but eventually the numerical advantage and fresh legs made the difference.Chukwuemeka’s one two with Palmer put Chelsea ahead two minutes into added time. And fellow Chelsea sub Noni Madueke chipped a spectacular shot over keeper Stolaczyk with seconds remaining.Remind yourself how the game went with our live blog below.BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKER More

      JOYCE GETS A STOPPAGE WIN WITH 18 SECONDS TO GO!
      Juggernaut will be happy to finally put those double Zhang defeats behind him.
      And he’ll be delighted to have done it with a KO blow!

      Joe Joyce continues to pile on the pressure in round nine as we have now seen a bit of blood in the ring.
      Juggernaut senses the victory while Kash Ali is literally holding on.
      Lets see if Joyce can get the big shot in the final round!
      Copy linkCopiedJoyce vs Ali R8
      Juggernaut is picking up momentum and pushing Ali into all four corners of the ring.
      Joyce is sensing that Ali is slowly beginning to drop his guard and that is what helped him land a few more punches in round 8.
      Two more rounds to go!

      Juggernaut hit a big upper body shot on Ali in what has been the best round of the match so far.

      It’s quite a snore fest in truth at this point – neither boxer really going for it.
      Joyce is trying to throw more punches but nothing is sticking.

      Another lacklustre round has gone by and its not pretty, but Joyce is getting the job done.
      It’s all about the win for the Juggernaut after losing consecutive fights to Zhang.
      But he’ll be determined to land a big right hand and convincingly beat the man who bit David Price.
      Copy linkCopiedJoyce vs Ali R4
      It’s all Joyce but in all honesty, the Juggernaut has not had to do much.
      You can probably count on one hand the amount of punches Ali has thrown in round four.
      Joyce can afford to keep doing what he’s doing and he’ll win on points.

      That’s better from Joyce!

      Round two has been similar to the first round with both boxers saving fuel in the tank for later on.
      Once again Joyce tried to connect some punches, but it’s just not happening at the moment.
      Cautious is how I would describe this one.

      Both boxers are just feeling each other out – not going all guns blazing early doors.

      Parker lands a rifle of a right hand but Zeuge is a brickwall of a man.

      Fulham 3 Tottenham 0: Muniz scores either side of Lukic to stun London rivals and rock charge for Champions League place

      by

      THE curious case of Armando Broja makes sense when you see Rodrigo Muniz play like this.And the Brazilian’s stellar performance must surely have extinguished Ange Postecoglou’s hitherto baffling belief that Spurs are still in the title race.Fulham rant rampant against a below-par TottenhamCredit: AFPRodrigo Muniz got himself on the scoresheet twiceCredit: GettySasa Lukic also got in on the act to dent Spurs’ Champions League hopesCredit: RexCaptain Son Heung-min was powerless as Spurs fell to defeatCredit: GettyMuniz had the beating of Tottenham debutant Radu Dragusin throughout and grabbed a lovely opener three minutes before the break.Four minutes after the interval, Sasa Lukic’s flukey finish made it 2-0.Muniz’s poacher’s strike just after the hour KO’d Tottenham and any remote hope they had of gate-crashing their way to the Prem crown.He came off shortly after, having been kicked by Dragusin in netting his second, to a standing ovation which included Hollywood actor Hugh Grant.Muniz’s emergence in the last few months has been an intriguing story of its own.And one that has come at the cost of Chelsea loanee Broja, who was not even on the bench here.Marco Silva said it was for “tactical” reasons but it still came as a surprise.Not least to the player himself, as SunSport understands, as there had been no issue in training.BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERLeaving Broja out means Fulham will have to pay his parent club £4million – an agreed amount if he did not make ten starts during the temporary switch, which he now cannot do.It was not a great day personally for him but an even worse one for Spurs, who are 11 points off top having now played as many games as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.Every Premier League club’s most famous and also most surprising fanPostecoglou’s men looked a shadow of the side that trounced Aston Villa 4-0 last week.That big win had seen them lose key defender Micky van de Ven to injury.And though the Dutchman is expected to be back after the international break, they sure missed him here as Dragusin struggled on his full debut.Spurs’ £25million summer buy from Genoa had plenty of the ball early doors.But when it came to the 50-50 battles – supposedly one of his biggest strengths – with Muniz, there was only one winner.The confidence flowing through Fulham’s centre-forward after five goals in six games was clear for all to see, as he pulled off audacious flicks and won aerial duels throughout.Spurs had more possession but were not effective with itFulham made their periods of domination countAnge Postecoglou will have food for thought as Spurs gave Man Utd the chance to close the gapCredit: GettyMeanwhile, Marco Silva will be happy to see the Cottagers close in on the top halfCredit: ReutersGuglielmo Vicario was forced into action to deny Lukic at close range, minutes after another wonderful Cristian Romero block had repelled Andreas Pereira with the goal at his mercy.Dragusin looked to have got away with one when he caught Muniz as the former Flamengo man tried to burst clear, but ref Robert Jones was unmoved.Muniz was inches away from turning home a cutback from Antonee Robinson but somehow could not make a connection.Spurs rode their luck on that occasion, as they did soon after when Willian, at the ripe old age of 35, raced down the pitch and fed Alex Iwobi, but Vicario again came to the rescue.Dragusin may have been being given a torrid time at the back by Muniz, but he suddenly was presented with a great chance to open the scoring when he was played through by Romero’s header.Yet the 22-year-old was caught between having a shot or cutting it back and eventually his effort, which looked to be more of a pass, rolled across goal and out of play.Not being an attacker, he could be forgiven. But James Maddison will know he should have done better when Destiny Udogie laid it back to him and he could only find the side-netting.Muniz was devastatingly clinical against SpursMuniz made the most of the open space he was given by SpursCredit: ReutersSpurs were too easy to play through without Micky van de Ven marshalling the defenceCredit: ReutersWith three minutes to go to the break, Muniz had the goal his performance deserved.Once again it was through a link-up with rampaging left-back Robinson, who fired a first-time delivery from out wide.Muniz had managed to drift off Dragusin and his first touch was sublime, trapping the fizzing ball, and his second true as he fired across Vicario and into the back of the net.Fulham quickly doubled their lead after the break when Lukic turned home a Timothy Castagne cross with his knee.Film star Grant and his fellow spectators were in dreamland on 61 minutes when Calvin Bassey shot deflected off the post, allowing Muniz to nip in front of Dragusin and stab home.Spurs being Spurs, at least under their attacking Aussie boss, they still had good chances to score but Brennan Johnson and sub Timo Werner missed sitters.It left Postecoglou with much to ponder as he considers how to win the battle that his team are genuinely in – that of the race for fourth with Villa.Meanwhile Muniz’s seventh goal in as many games had the home fans dreaming of a late European push.It will have been tough to take, but Broja could have no complaints given he was losing out to arguably the Premier League’s most in-form striker right now.Remind yourself how the game went with our live blog below.BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKER More

      Man City 2 Newcastle 0: City edge closer to double treble dream as they dump Toon out of FA Cup to reach semi-final

      by

      BERNARDO SILVA’S double kept them dreaming of the treble…even if Pep Guardiola refuses to entertain the idea for another few weeks.The Manchester City gaffer insists he won’t even consider the prospect of repeating last term’s triple triumph until the last fortnight or so of the season.Man City booked their place in the FA Cup semis with a 2-0 win against NewcastleCredit: APBernardo Silva bagged both goals at the EtihadCredit: GettyWell, if all City’s opponents between now and then roll over as meekly as the Toon did here, it’s going to be another finale to remember for the Spaniard.Let’s face it, it’s hard enough to get a result at this place at the best of times. When you’re dangling a leg, nodding a head and sticking the ball in the net for them, it becomes impossible.That’s what happened last night, though, as twice Bernardo took aim with first half strikes, and twice his efforts were heading for goal.Whether either would have ended up there? You’d have to say that was highly debatable. Let’s just say they weren’t exactly palm-stingers.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLYet on both occasions they found a way past keeper Martin Dubravka thanks to a lazy leg, and a craned, ill-placed flick of the neck muscles.First up it was Dan Burn on 13 minutes, turning his body sideways and stretching his right leg backwards in an almost languid attempt to block as Silva cut inside and shot.The ball flicked the back of his leg, looped over Dubravka in an agonising, almost apologetic arc, and City were a goal up.Given the lack of anything but the faintest flicker of a Geordie threat, essentially we could have all packed up and gone home there and then.Most read in FA CupBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERThere was never any serious danger of anything other than a sky blue stroll into the last eight.But if there were any doubters, even they were convinced 13 minutes before the break when Bernardo cocked the trigger once again….and Newcastle pulled it for him.The Premier League’s Top 10 sexiest managers according to AIIn many ways it was a replica of the first, save for Ruben Dias shuffling the ball right to his Portuguese pal, rather than Rodri.Once more Bernardo stepped back inside, once more he left rip with a shot that was directed, rather than dynamic.And once more a Toon defender – this time Sven Bottman, craning his neck to make contact – changed its goalbound course.It was hardly a deflection which left Dubravjka flat-footed, given the ball ended up going beneath the flying keeper’s legs.If you were being cruel – okay, let’s be cruel – there was a decent case for thinking the Slovakian stopper could have made a better fist of keeping it out.Silva opened the scoring after 13 minutesCredit: GettyThe Portuguese added his second in the 31st minuteCredit: GettyNo matter, it was two down, and too big a mountain. Mind you, one goal had looked like Everest.And in truth, Newcastle never really came close to even reaching base camp, let alone anywhere near the summit.Let’s not forget, by the way, that losing here effectively brought the curtain down on their season.One which began with hopes of a Champions League adventure and is stumbling towards a conclusion with them in tenth place and heading for the Europa Conference at best.Not exactly what they had in mind when those Sheikh, rattle and rollers turned the place into Geordie Arabia, eh?City were all smiles at the final whistleCredit: ReutersPep Guardiola has edged a step closer to retaining the TrebleCredit: APAnd the worrying thing for boss Eddie Howe is the way they bid such a limp and lame farewell to the FA Cup here.Okay, City had 80 per cent of possession, yet there was just a lack of intensity and jeopardy. Magic of the Cup? In the main this was about as high octane as a pre-season game.Occasionally City would inject a bit of energy and electricity into it. Like Jeremy Doku’s run and sidefoot which had Dubravka leaping to push his shot behind.To be honest, there were times when the lightning Doku was racing at Jamal Lascelles when it was almost cruel.Although the centre back’s hook-around-the-neck to stop him on one occasion was worthy of a Six Nations sin binning, rather than the yellow card it brought.It was another miserable night for Toon and Eddie HoweCredit: EPAAnthony Gordon was unable to impact the game after his England nodCredit: AFPBut back to the sights of goal, and Erling Haaland had another, whipping an effort a coat of paint wide, while a Josko Gvardiol rocket was deflected and this one went in Newcastle’s favour.There was even, believe it or not, a moment of raised pulses in the sky blue backline when Alexandar Isak fired in a point blank snapshot that surely had to give them hope.Well no, actually, because Stefan Ortega – deputising for Ederson after his self-inflicted Anfield injury a week ago – got down with an impressively strong left hand to beat it away.Howe finally made  a mass four-strong substitution in an effort to inject some life into his battered battalion. It brought a little more energy, but no nearer to an end product.READ MORE SUN STORIESIndeed, the closest we got to another goal came when Haaland bulldozed his way into the box, but this time Bottman deflected his shot over the bar.All pretty routine, all pretty humdrum and – worryingly for Newcastle this season – all too familiar.

      Wolves 2 Coventry 3: Visitors score two injury-time goals in three minutes to seal incredible FA Cup semi-final spot

      by

      COVENTRY stunned Premier League Wolves with two goals in injury time to seal an amazing 3-2 win and book a first FA Cup semi-final appearance since 1987.The Sky Blues went on to win the competition that year in one of the most famous finals ever – and they kept their hopes of another unlikely triumph this season alive after a remarkable climax at Molineux.Ellis Simms scored twice to inspire Coventry at MolineuxCredit: GettySimms now has five goals in the FA Cup this seasonCredit: ReutersHaji Wright, right, scored a dramatic late winner for Coventry to send them to WembleyCredit: ReutersThe Coventry players and fans went wild as they celebrated a breathtaking victoryCredit: GettyCoventry deserved the victory as they took the game to Wolves at MolineuxIt looked like they would be leaving with broken hearts after two goals in the final 10 minutes from Rayan Ait-Nouri and Hugo Bueno overturned Ellis Simms’ opener and seemed to set a Wembley date for Wolves.But the Championship side were not done and in nine minutes of time added on they turned the quarter-final tie around again, with Simms grabbing a second and then Haji Wright earning himself folklore by grabbing the winner.It was a dramatic ending to a breathless derby, which the Championship side probably deserved to win.Coventry survived a couple of early scares as Mario Lemina and Nelson Semedo missed chances, but having absorbed the pressure, the visitors missed a golden chance of their own to go ahead and Simms will not want reminding of it.After Jose Sa had palmed Kasey Palmer’s shot into the path of Jake Bidwell, the wing-back set up a simple tap-in from close range after rolling the ball across goal, but Simms got his feet in a mess and somehow put his shot straight at Sa.The momentum had suddenly switched and two more glorious chance came for Coventry before half-time as Simms played in Milan van Ewijk, who looked prime to score until Sa made a fine block and the Wolves keeper was grateful to an unmarked Palmer for cushioning the ball straight at him.The Sky Blues finally made the breakthrough eight minutes after the restart as Simms made amends for his earlier howler.Liam Kitching headed a free-kick back across goal to the far post where Simms appeared to bundle the ball in with his arm.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSSimms produced a superb display for CoventryCoventry pressed high against the Premier League sideBut it survived a lengthy four-minute VAR check to give the travelling supporters a second chance to celebrate.They should have been celebrating another goal soon after as their side bombarded Wolves’ goal.Laura Woods asks ‘did I get pied there?’ in awkward moment during interview with Wolves boss Gary O’NeilSa had to make a double save, first keeping out Wright’s effort with his feet and then parrying away Josh Eccles’ effort from the rebound.After Sa then rolled the ball to Matt Doherty, the Republic of Ireland wing-back was dispossessed in a dangerous area and Palmer put a shot agonisingly wide.They could have done with one of those chances going in as the inevitable Wolves onslaught came in the final 20 minutes.Joao Gomes saw a vicious effort tipped onto the post by Bradley Collins and then Ait-Nouri hit the other post with a header soon after.But Wolves remained ragged at the other end and only a one-man show from Sa stopped Coventry from killing the tie.The Portugal keeper pulled off three big saves to keep the score at 1-0, palming away efforts from Simms and Callum O’Hare and then denying Kitching at close range.And he was rewarded as Wolves levelled in the 83rd minute when Joel Latibeaudiere could not clear a cross and Ait-Nouri slammed home the loose ball.The writing appeared on the wall for Coventry as Ait-Nouri surged forward, playing in Bueno, who made no mistake.But in the sixth minute of time added on Simms headed home at the far post after Bobby Thomas had flicked on Bidwell’s cross.There was time for more drama as in the 10th minute Simms teed up Wright to steer Coventry to a famous victory.Check out how the action unfolded through our live blog below… More
