Chelsea put one over on rivals Tottenham at the weekend.
Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic celebrates scoring their fourth goal with Marcos Alonso
Chelsea beat London rivals Tottenham at Wembley 4-2 on Saturday to clinch their place in May’s FA Cup Final.
The Blues twice had to bounce back from equalising goals from Spurs before strikes from Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic swung the game in their favour.
Chelsea legend Frank Lampard was caught up amid the delirious scenes at the final whistle, and was pictured reminding Tottenham fans of the scoreline.
The Blues are on course to record an impressive double in Antonio Conte’s first season at the club, with the Italian potentially emulating compatriot Carlo Ancelotti who did so in 2009/10.
Tottenham are Chelsea’s biggest threat for the Premier League title, having cut the lead at the top down to four points.
Spurs are on a seven game winning streak in the league, and Chelsea will hope they have punctured their momentum as a result of the FA Cup win.
If they slip up themselves, Spurs could yet have the last laugh.
