Wembley: Chelsea needed a goal from Didier Drogba for the fourth time in an FA Cup final to survive a second-half Liverpool onslaught and win the trophy for the fourth time in six seasons with a 2-1 victory on Saturday. After Ramires seized on Liverpool blunders to put Chelsea in front after 11 minutes, Drogba scored his eighth goal in eight games at Wembley in the 52nd minute of the...

London: By winning the FA Cup this weekend and achieving the first part of a possible trophy double, interim Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo can make what is already being seen as an irresistible case for taking the job on a permanent basis. Since coming in as a replacement for the fired Andre Villas-Boas at the start of March, Di Matteo has helped transform a Chelsea season that was threatening...

London: Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish sees Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea as more than just an opportunity to compensate for his team's dismal Premier League season. While the cup has arguably been relegated to the status of a sideshow by the Premier League and its offer of Champions League qualification, Dalglish still says there is glory in winning football's oldest competition. "There is an obsession with the Premier League...

Among the many who watched in disbelief as Chelsea defied all odds and all logic to produce an incredulous victory over Barcelona, there would have been one man in particular who would have been considerably baffled, and most certainly aggrieved. It was a performance of immense character, discipline, desire and resilience from the English side, qualities that had been starkly absent, however, in the same players not too long ago...

London: Tottenham Hotspur still have a "massive chance" to salvage something from their crumbling season, according to manager Harry Redknapp, although their hopes of a top-four finish in the Premier League appear to be diminishing by the day. Sunday's 5-1 hammering by Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final did not have any impact on their battle with the Blues, and Newcastle United, for fourth place, but it was another crushing...

London: Chelsea have apologised after a section of their fans "embarrassed" the club by singing and jeering during a minute's silence to pay respects to the 96 victims of the Hillsborough Stadium disaster in 1989 and the death of Livorno midfielder Piermario Morosini. The jeering occurred before kick-off in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium, which Chelsea eventually won by thrashing London rivals Tottenham 5-1. The tribute at Wembley...

London: Chelsea sealed a meeting with Liverpool in the FA Cup final after thrashing London rivals Tottenham 5-1 at Wembley Stadium on Sunday thanks to some ruthless finishing and a controversial goal that will reignite the debate over goal-line technology. The decision to award a 49th-minute goal to Juan Mata, putting Chelsea 2-0 up, appeared to be wrong after video replays suggested the ball hadn't crossed the line when it...

London: Liverpool came from behind to secure their place in the FA Cup final after beating Everton 2-1 at Wembley thanks to a Luis Suarez strike and a late Andy Carroll header. The Toffees opened the scoring when Jamie Carraghers nervy clearance ricocheted off Tim Cahill and fell into the path of the Nikica Jelavic, who slotted the ball past Brad Jones in the 24th minute. Liverpool, however, responded in...

London: Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic will miss Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham at Wembley and two key matches in the team's Premier League run-in after his appeal against a charge of violent conduct was dismissed. The Serbian international was charged by the Football Association and handed a three-match ban after video footage emerged of him punching Wigan forward Shaun Maloney in an off-the-ball incident unseen by the match officials...

London: Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic could be in trouble with the Football Association (FA), following an off-the-ball incident in the 2-1 win against Wigan Athletic on Saturday, which could result in a violent conduct charge and a potential three-match ban for the Serbian. It is understood that the FA has been made aware of a video which appears to show Ivanovic punching Wigan's attacking midfielder Shaun Maloney in the kidneys,...

London: Chelsea captain John Terry has vowed to play on through the club's vital run of April fixtures despite suffering two broken ribs. The Blues are in the midst of a run of eight games in 26 days, including a two-legged Champions League semi-final against Barcelona and an FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham. Scans on Thursday revealed that the centreback suffered the injury during the club's Champions League quarter-final first-leg...

London: Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has accused the FA of lacking common sense after its decision to play the FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur late on a Sunday, days before a possible Champions League semi against Barcelona or AC Milan. The tie on April 15 at Wembley will kick off at 6pm local time, giving the club precious little time to prepare for Wednesday's first leg of a...

London: A new photo of Fabrice Muamba appeared on the midfielder's Twitter account on Friday showing him sitting up and smiling, almost two weeks after his heart stopped beating and he collapsed during the FA Cup quarter-finals.
