Chelsea secured a spot in the semi-finals of the FA Cup with a 4-2 victory over Leicester, thanks to late goals from Carney Chukwuemeka and Noni Madueke.

Carney Chukwuemeka of Chelsea was the hero of the day as he celebrated with his teammates after scoring the third goal in their thrilling 4-2 victory over Leicester City in the Emirates FA Cup Quarter Final at Stamford Bridge. The match, which took place on March 17, 2024, in London, England, was a rollercoaster affair that saw Chelsea come out on top.

The Blues seemed to be cruising to victory with goals from Marc Cucurella and Cole Palmer giving them a comfortable lead at half-time. However, Leicester fought back in the second half with an own goal from Axel Disasi and a sensational strike from Stephy Mavididi to level the score.

Leicester’s hopes were dealt a blow when Callum Doyle was shown a red card for a desperate foul on Nicolas Jackson. Chelsea took advantage of their numerical advantage, with Chukwuemeka scoring in the 92nd minute to put his team back in the lead. Noni Madueke sealed the victory with a superb solo goal.
