Chelsea’s Cup defence ends

-

FA Cup holders Chelsea have been dumped out of the competitio­n, beaten 2-0 by Manchester United in a game that has piled more pressure on Blues manager Maurizio Sarri.

It was a measure of revenge for United, who lost to Chelsea in last May’s Wembley final under their former boss Jose Mourinho.

After yesterday’s game, United were drawn to face Wolverhamp­ton Wanderers at Molineux in the quarter-finals.

In the other quarter-finals, Manchester City will visit Swansea City, Watford are at home to Crystal Palace and Socceroos goalkeeper Mat Ryan’s Brighton and Hove Albion will clash with Millwall.
