The FA Cup semifinal between Chelsea and Manchester United was the fourth meeting between the two sides this season.
Until then United held the monopoly as far as the results were considered. The Blues were comfortably the better team for large parts of the contest, but Solskjaer’s side were more clinical.
The clash at Wembley gave Frank Lampard the chance to get his name on the board and deliver a crushing blow to a resurgent United side
He got just that as Olivier Giroud and Mason Mount gave the Blues a well-deserved two-goal lead.
United skipper Harry Maguire was perhaps lucky to not receive his marching orders at the Bridge earlier in the season. He later scored as United won 2-0. Maguire received his just desserts as his own goal ensured Chelsea won 3-1 this time.
Solskajer can harp on about his unbeaten run all he wants but it is Lampard who will be leading his side out at Wembley. Winners win, losers talk.
We take a look as Chelsea fans react to Lampard’s masterclass.
