Chelsea boss Tuchel: We're into the FA Cup semis - sounds excellent! | OneFootball

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was delighted with their FA Cup win against Sheffield United on Sunday.

Chelsea won 2-0 via an own goal from Oliver Norwood and a Hakim Ziyech strike.

Tuchel later said, "Sounds excellent to say we're through to the semi-finals - it was a tough match. We had a good first half where we controlled everything. We lost control in the second half, we were clearly tired. After 14 consecutive matches I could feel we were tired and we made many little faults.

"We were lucky to keep the clean sheet in the second half but I think it's the first time in the 14 games we have looked tired. It's important to go through in the cup and that was the target and we reached it."

He also stated: "We let them come back because we had full control in first half and second half a big chance with Christian Pulisic to finish the game early. We made too many easy mistakes and lost duels and lost some momentum.

"I could tell in training we were tired and there was a lack of concentration. That can happen sometimes it gets harder to keep the level up - I'm happy we could help from the bench and in the end we have the win so we take that."
