Chelsea vs Man Utd LIVE
FA Cup 2018-19
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Referee: Kevin Friend
Manchester United cruised into the FA Cup quarter-finals, avenging last year's final defeat with a 2-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Despite matching the visitors for large parts of the game, Chelsea were undone by two sensational first-half deliveries, and the pressure will again increase on Maurizio Sarri.
First Paul Pogba curled wonderfully in for Ander Herrera to open the scoring at the back post, before provider turned scorer as Pogba powered home from Marcus Rashford's whipped cross.
And though the Blues enjoyed the best of the play in the second half, they failed to find a way through a brilliantly organised United defence, with the home crowd booing Maurizio Sarri's decision to introduced Davide Zappacosta late on as Olivier Giroud and Callum Hudson-Odoi were left sitting on the bench.
