CHELSEA weren’t at their best but survived a late scare to reach the FA Cup fifth round, beating Hull City 2-1 at Walton Street.

While their quality told in the end, there were familiar frustrations for Frank Lampard as his side squandered a number of chances. Michy Batshuayi and Fikayo Tomori scored in each half, before Kamil Grosicki pulled one back 12 minutes from time in front of Hull’s biggest crowd for three years.

Lampard admits he “wasn’t delighted” with the performance, but understands how tough these cup ties can be.
