Manchester United 1-3 Chelsea:The blues make FA Cup final after De Gea's errors

-
Goals from Olivier Giroud and Mason Mount, with a Harry Maguire own goal allowed Chelsea to outclass Manchester United 3-1 in the FA Cup semi finals at Wembley.

Giroud gave Chelsea the lead in the first half as sluggish goalkeeping from De Gea allowed Chelsea take the lead, as United also lost Eric Bailly to injury in the first half.

De Gea was at fault again as Mason Mount scored from outside the box,his shot that any goalkeeper would have hopes of saving.

The Spaniard was not entirely convincing when Maguire made it 3-0 with an own goal from a Marcos Alonso cross.

Chelsea started the match on the front foot and should have been ahead as Marcos Alonso wasted a free header. While,Reece James struck a shot that was kept out by De Gea.

After a lengthy delay, Chelsea took the lead as Olivier Giroud's touch on a cross from Cesar Azpilicueta cross went beyond De Gea, as the keeper should have done better in the 11th minute of first half stoppage time.

And a minute after the break, De Gea allowed a 20-yard Mason Mount strike under his body, although the ball given away by Brandon Williams in the build-up to the goal didn't help at all.

Marcus Rashford flashed a beautiful cross I the box,before Harry Maguire nodded wide from a corner after Caballero came out hastily.

But it was game over as Harry Maguire got the last touch off a Marcos Alonso low cross. With Manchester United pulling one back through Bruno Fernandes from the penalty spot after Substitute, Hudson-Odoi brought down Anthony Martial in the box.

What's next?
Manchester United will continue their push for a top four spot in the Premier League when they host West Ham on Wednesday. While, Chelsea next face champions Liverpool at Anfield on the same day, as a win over the champions will all but secure their place in next season's Champions League.

Chelsea have confirmed that they will play in Champions League next season as goals from Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud sealed a 2-0 win on the final day of the Premier League season. Although the Blues had a sluggish start to the game, but two goals in first half stoppage time. First, through a brilliant Mason Mount free kick, before Giroud doubled the lead a short while later. Although the first half of the match was highly devoid of action until a wonderful Mason Mount free kick goal. While, Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount combined to set up Giroud, before he rounded Rui Patricio and held off Conor Coady before scoring into an empty net. Diogo Jota brought out a save from Willy Caballero just before the hour. But the Blues were hardly troubled as they held on to 4th position in the league in Lampard's first season in charge.

Danny Ings scored his 21st Premier League goal of the season as Southampton defeated Bournemouth 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium.  Ings scored with a good finish in tge 41st minute as he put glitters to sweeping Saints counter attack.  He had a chance to double his side's lead, but he sent a tame shot that was saved by Aaron Ramsdale, after Harry Wilson handled in the box. Bournemouth thought they had equalised through Sam Surridge, only for VAR to judge that Callum Wilson was in an offside position whilst also interfering with play, before Substitute Che Adams hit the final nail in the coffin to almost certainly dash Bournemouth's hopes of staying up. Eddie Howe's men are three points from safety with a trip to Everton still to come. Survival on goal difference is the best they can hope for, as 17th placed Watford will condemn the Cherries to the 2nd division for next season, if and only if they can claim a point from one of their last two games with matches agains...
