Chelsea nightmare season effectively ended. Chelsea gambled away his last chance for a trophy, having fallen to 0: 2 in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup by Everton as guests and now remains to be struggling in the Premiership for something better than tenth place you are now.
In executioner Londoners turned their former player Romelu Lukaku, who scored both goals in the net of Thibaut Courtois. He realized at the very end, so that there is no time for reaction from his former teammates.
But at the last minute he saw the rising of a new "cannibal" in the sky. Diego Costa bit the neck Gareth Barry was sent off and logical and can now burn for very long because of this offense. Just two minutes later, Barry himself sglupi and beg red card, but that was not fatal to the ambitions of the team and he is the semifinals of "Wembley" in April.
The game started promising with situations and the two doors. Already in the second 38 minutes the hosts could not find, but Tom Cleverley has not become a goal. Guests answered immediately in the third minute shot William flew over the bar from advantageous situation.
But those were the only highlights for long periods in the game. There were nervous minutes of solid entries and tension. Diego Costa and Gareth Barry bit into hard and exchanged heavy challenge, but it missed only a yellow card for the Spanish international.
The battle moved into the center, entries were hard and situations - a little. Both teams awoke only at the end of the half and gave a hint what interesting second half ahead.
Otherwise, in the 44th minute Willie shot over the crossbar from a free kick, and the continuation of the first part again Tom Cleverley was involved in the latter situation for Everton before the break, but again shot wide.
So everything is decided after the break, and she offered very many emotions. With 58 minutes was discharged purest position in this match. It gave Diego Costa, who slipped behind the defense of the opponent overcame and goalkeeper Joel Robles, but his shot from an acute angle to empty door went parallel to the goal line and the ball came out.
Gradually, the hosts began to play more strongly and had many good situations, but Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku missed them. The match went into mainstream, which could not see how it will drop goal, but the gleam of magic by Lukaku gave advance of the hosts.
This happened after 77 minutes when former Chelsea player virtually alone overcame entire defense of his former team "broke" the cross of Gary Cahill, who turned 360 degrees on its axis, but could not touch the ball so with a powerful shot Lukaku pierced Thibaut Courtois for 1: 0.
But it was far from everything and upcoming very exciting last minute. After 83 minutes, the Belgian finally buried his former team, this time got an assist from Ross Barkley and after it was displayed behind the defense, shoot for the second time Courtois - 2: 0.
There were, however ugly scenes at the end. First in the 85th minute Diego Costa was shown as a "vampire" and bit his neck Gareth Barry, with whom he had a teaser from the first half. Referee Michael Oliver saw it and drive it more than deserved.
Barry victim only three minutes then beg incredibly stupid red card for an unnecessary foul in the middle, but it does not affect the final result and Everton's semi-final, while Chelsea will lick the wounds season without a trophy, you just have to play.
