Luton Town vs Chelsea

Chelsea twice had to come from behind in a classic FA Cup tie but booked our place in the quarter-finals with two goals in the space of 10 second-half ...

A patient bit of play out on the right ended with Loftus-Cheek releasing Timo inside the box again and when he cut a low ball across the six-yard box from the byline, Lukaku used his power to get ahead of the defenders and slide us ahead from close range. That made it almost impossible for Luton to rally and mount a late push for the equaliser that would take the game to extra time, managing only the occasional and increasingly desperate venture into our half. Werner was the man to get it and he showed clever movement to roll his marker and get in behind the Luton defence in the box following Loftus-Cheek's perfectly judged pass. The German stumbled as he went past the second man, but Saul was charging in to take over and place a perfect first-time shot into the bottom corner with his less-favoured right foot. That was when disaster struck for the Blues, as the set-piece was headed across goal by defender Reece Burke, bouncing in off the inside of the back post, giving Kepa no chance as we went behind just two minutes in. First Ruben Loftus-Cheek lifted the ball over the Hatters' back line, allowing Timo Werner to spin his marker cleverly and roll a composed finish under the goalkeeper.

Chelsea weathered a tumultuous evening off the pitch and an early Luton onslaught to twice come from behind and reach the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 3-2 fifth-round victory at Kenilworth Road. Roman Abramovich confirmed his intention to sell Chelsea an ...

They're World Club champions, Champions League winners and they've had to work hard - very, very hard - for their win. There was some noise today around the club of course, so it was not so easy to focus but we did very well, I think. Saul clipped Chelsea level with the Blues' first tangible attack, cantering on to strike home after Mason Mount had set Werner off and running. Saul's equaliser should have seen Chelsea settle, but just when the visitors expected to take control Luton struck again. Luton goalkeeper Jed Steer suffered a nasty-looking injury next, falling awkwardly on the turf under no contact from anyone else.

It was Lukaku's first goal for Chelsea of the 2022 calendar year. Luton's squad has a combined value of less than £20 million compared to Chelsea's near £1 billion and Chelsea's three scorers alone were signed for a total ...

It was Lukaku's first goal for Chelsea of the 2022 calendar year. Asked if it was the right decision, Tuchel added: "I think every decision he takes is the right decision. Chelsea have won the FA Cup five times under Abramovich.

Chelsea have rotated their side for their FA Cup fifth-round meeting with Championship side Luton tonight.

“We had training today, the physios, the doctors are still working with the players to find out. It’s now the third time we’ve played extra-time, it was an intense match and this is where we are.” It’s actually too much to comment on because it would be a long list, so we need to see.
