The Blues march into the semi-finals of the FA Cup and a Wembley date with Manchester City as Demba Ba scored the only goal of the game to overcome Manchester United.

After a fairly quiet opening 45 minutes, Ba broke the deadlock early in the second half when he raced on to an intelligent Juan Mata pass and crashed a first-time volley beyond David de Gea and into the top corner.

Petr Cech pulled off a magnificent stop to deny Javier Hernandez shortly after as United looked to hit back, before Eden Hazard and Juan Mata both went close.

In the end, however, we ran out deserved winners, and offered the perfect response to Saturday's defeat at Southampton.

You simply cannot back against us in the FA Cup, and we now turn our attention towards Thursday's Europa League quarter-final against Rubin Kazan.
