Chelsea Defeats Leeds to Reach FA Cup Final

Chelsea FC advanced to the FA Cup final after a narrow 1-0 victory against Leeds United at Wembley Stadium. The decisive goal came from Enzo Fernández, who scored with a powerful header in the 23rd minute, assisted by a cross from Pedro Neto.

This match was significant as it was Chelsea's first under new coach Calum McFarlane, following the departure of Liam Rosenior. Leeds United posed a threat during the match, particularly when Brenden Aaronson missed a one-on-one opportunity against Chelsea's goalkeeper Robert Sánchez.

Chelsea's João Pedro also hit the post, but the team managed to maintain their lead. The victory marks Chelsea's 13th FA Cup semi-final appearance and sets them up for a final match against Manchester City on May 16.
