Chelsea advance in FA Cup after crazy Leicester clash

Chelsea pulled off a stunning comeback in stoppage time to secure their spot in the FA Cup semi-finals after a tense battle against Leicester City.

The Blues found themselves in a comfortable position with a 2-0 lead until a bizarre own goal by Axel Disasi injected new life into the match early in the second half. Stephy Mavididi’s brilliant equalizer further fueled the tension, causing unrest among the Stamford Bridge faithful.

However, Leicester’s hopes were dashed when defender Callum Doyle received a red card, leaving them a man down. Chelsea capitalized on the advantage, with Carney Chukwuemeka scoring after a clever assist from Cole Palmer in the 92nd minute.
