Chelsea Under-18s reached the FA Youth Cup semi-finals for the eighth year in a row after a 1-0 win over Leicester.
Here are the three players who stood out as the Blues won at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday.
The match-winner. He timed his movement on to Reece James’ cross perfectly and got the power on his header to beat Leicester keeper Cameron Yates, making up for a miss from close range a couple of minutes beforehand. He also worked hard to keep play in the Foxes’ half as the clock ticked down.
Chelsea have not conceded a goal in their run to the semi-finals – often they dominate games to the extent their defence is never threatened, but Leicester did see more of the ball than Cardiff, Birmingham and Sheffield Wednesday. Chalobah was solid as a rock, shutting the door whenever the Foxes threatened.
Continually impresses. Looked composed on the ball and was busy in the centre of the park. He always looked to make things happen, particularly early on when he was the most influential player on the pitch.
