Blues hold their nerve to reach FA Cup final

BIRMINGHAM needed penalties to defeat Chelsea yesterday as they booked their place in the FA Cup final, where they will meet Super League champions Manchester City.

The final at Wembley will be a repeat of last season’s League Cup final, which City won 1-0.

Eni Aluko and Millie Bright missed from the spot for Chelsea, who needed a late Drew Spence strike to take the match to extra time.
