So it’s Chelsea and Arsenal in the FA Cup Finals and what a treat we’ve had watching the semis!
The Blues of the Kings Road blew Spurs away in a pulsating clash, and that’s a psychological blow landed by Antonio Conte’s men. The betting odds on a Chelsea double are dropping by the day.
Then on Sunday, Arsenal beat Manchester City after extra time to make it an all-London final.
Chelsea 4-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Make no mistake. This was a huge result which sports betting fans will take note of. Conte started the game without his big players – Diego Costa and Eden Hazard – and the Blues still won well. The Double is theirs to lose.
Spurs had twice pegged Chelsea back as Willian scored a first-half double to put the Blues 2-1 ahead of half time. Mauricio Pochettino was playing his best cards from the off and first Harry Kane, and then Dele Alli drew Spurs level. But Conte could still bring on his big guns and Eden Hazard duly fired low into the corner on the 75th minute to swing the tie his way. And there was still time for Nemanja Matic to hit the goal of the game, smashing a thunderbolt into the top corner to make it four.
Arsenal 2-1 Manchester City
Alexis Sanchez turned the ball home in a packed penalty box in the first period of extra time to send the Gunners into the FA Cup final and send the City fans home feeling blue. The Sky Blues dominated the first half but had to wait until the 62nd minute for Sergio Aguero to put them deservedly ahead. But the lead lasted just nine minutes before Nacho Monreal drew the Gunners level to set up the extra time drama.
So Arsene Wenger could end a difficult season on a high note, while Pep Guardiola will end his first in the Premier League without a trophy.
