The leader of the English Premiere League has shown its
leading power by thrashing out its opponent Manchester United from the FA cup
with a 1 – 0 win to end their defensive champion of the Cup.
According to Goal.com, Mourinho's
first return to the Blues after his December 2015 sacking ended in a
humiliating 4-0 thrashing and United ultimately fared little better in this
quarter-final capitulation, secured by N'Golo Kante's stunning strike.
A defensive line-up was
expected from United amid pre-match reports of a shortage of strikers, but
Marcus Rashford defied illness to start as Mourinho changed his system to match
that which Antonio Conte has dominated the Premier League with, and one that
the former Blues boss has been far from complimentary about in public.
Mourinho's plans were
thrown out of kilter as Ander Herrera picked up two first-half bookings for
fouls on the superb Eden Hazard, and Kante - scorer of Chelsea's fourth against
United in October - lashed home to give the hosts the advantage.
Goal. Com also stated that
Herrera has been responsible for two of Man Utd's three red cards in
all competitions this season.
Chelsea will be joining
the likes of Manchester city, Tottenham, and Arsenal in the semi – final of the
FA Cup.
