The FA Cup semi-final draw takes place on Sunday evening, and Chelsea will discover our next opponents in this season’s competition after Saturday’s 7-0 victory over Port Vale.
The Blues secured our passage through to the last four in convincing fashion. Jorrel Hato scored after just 63 seconds and our first-half performance also saw Joao Pedro find the net and Cole Palmer force home a third, although it was credited as a Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel own goal.
In the second period, Tosin Adarabioyo headed home a fourth, Andrey Santos grabbed our fifth, and Estevao Willian tapped home the Blues’ sixth of the afternoon. Alejandro Garnacho rounded off the scoring with a late penalty that he had moments earlier won.
