ANTONIO CONTE’S Chelsea clinched an FA Cup showdown with Manchester United on May 19 after overcoming Southampton in this afternoon’s entertaining contest at Wembley Stadium.

Olivier Giroud’s goal, a superbly taken effort less than a minute after the interval, put the west Londoners on their way, before a late header from substitute Alvaro Morata sealed the win.

It means that Chelsea, seven-time winners of the competition, reach the FA Cup final for the second successive year. Last year, they were beaten 2-1 by an Arsenal side that featured Giroud.
