Chelsea deservedly qualified for the FA Cup final from 1x2 football predictions after beating Manchester United 3-1 at Wembley. Frank Lampard`s team will argue for the trophy with their London rival Arsenal, which yesterday eliminated Manchester City in the other semifinal clash. A little over a year ago, the two teams met in the Europa League final, where Chelsea triumphed. After being defeated by Manchester United three times this season, today the team of Frank Lampard deserved full success. Olivier Giroud and Mason Mount scored at the end of the first and the beginning of the second half, and David De Gea, who did not intervene well, was to blame for these goals. Harry Maguire finished his team with an own goal in the 74th minute. Bruno Fernandes scored the honorable goal for United after being accurate from a penalty five minutes before the end. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had made five changes to his starting line-up. Brendan Williams, Eric Bayi, Nemanja Matic, Fred and Daniel James started. The United manager also changed the scheme - the `red devils` came out in a formation with three central defenders. Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial stayed on the bench for the start.
There were three changes in Frank Lampard`s 11. Willy Cabayero started at the door. Mason Mount and Reese James took the place of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic.
Chelsea started better and created two good opportunities in the first 1/4 hour. De Gea shot a 25-meter shot at Reese James, and a little later Alonso was left to shoot with a header from six meters, but the ball went over the crossbar.
The Red Devils were hampered by the opponent`s press and had difficulty taking the ball out - something we have seen several times in their last few games. In the 32nd minute, United registered its first accurate shot. Bruno Fernandes shot well from a foul, but Cabayero was in place and cleared into the
Zuma struck another dangerous but inaccurate header for Chelsea.
At the very end of the first part, there was a heavy collision, in which Baye and Maguire hit each other on the head and had to receive help for a few minutes. The most expensive defender was bandaged and continued until Bayi was replaced by Anthony Martial. This changed the scheme of Solskjaer`s team, which has already played 4-3-3.
In the eighth minute of added time in the first half, the players in red claimed a penalty after Zuma hooked Martial`s leg on the edge of the penalty area. The defender did this the moment he cleared the ball. However, Mike Dean did not rule on a violation.
Three minutes later, Chelsea took the lead. Aspilicueta centered very well on the right, and Giroud overtook Lindelof and intercepted from a few meters. De Gea failed to intervene well, the ball went under his body and entered the door.
At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea doubled their lead after a blunder by David De Gea, who failed to catch the ball after a shot by Mason Mount on the ground from 25 meters.
United had a chance to return quickly to the match, but Rashford`s diagonal kick bounced off the far post. Shortly afterwards, Paul Pogue appeared in a game for the Red Devils 1X2 predictions - more details and information: 1X2 predictions
