The heavy weight game of the Quarter Finals saw Chelsea play Manchester United in London.
Chelsea were starting to control the game, largely through Eden Hazard, when Man United’s Herrera was booked for a second yellow card offence. This was the turning point in the game and United were only ever able to create one other chance in the match. The industrious Kanté scored in the 51st minute and although Chelsea were not able to add to this total were never going to lose this game.
