Poor goalkeeping twice over from Arsenal's Lukasz Fabianski combined with Wembley Stadium's "laughable" pitch (as Arsene Wenger complained) allowed Chelsea to advance to the FA Cup finals, winning against the Gunners, 2-1.
Theo Walcott scored the opening goal at the 18th minute with a volley, but it was cancelled out about 15 minutes later when Florent Malouda found the back of the net after a costly error by Fabianski. The Arsenal goalkeeper made another mistake near the end of the game, allowing Didier Drogba to stab the winning dagger for Chelsea.
Chelsea will face whoever wins the match between Manchester United and Everton in the finals. United is eyeing a five-trophy season with pending campaigns in the FA Cup, the Champions League, and the Premier League. However, Chelsea is still in the hunt for the three said competitions, equalling Manchester United in the first two and currently placing third on the Premier League table behind United and Liverpool.
