Chelsea on Sunday evening edged out Leicester from the FA Cup in a pulsating 120-minute encounter.
Alvaro Morata had put Chelsea in front through a 42nd-minute strike before the home side drew level in the 76th minute courtesy of a Jamie Vardy goal.
Both teams continued to show flashes of brilliance, but with neither shifting ground, the match headed into extra time.
However, Leicester hearts were broken on the 105th minute courtesy of a goal from Chelsea substitute, Pedro Rodriguez.
With the result, Chelsea join Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton in the semi final of UK’s oldest football competition.
While United will face Spurs in the semi final, Antonio Conte’s side will face Southampton, whose manager, Mark Hughes, won the 1997 FA Cup with Chelsea.
