Thiago Silva and Co. didn’t allow themselves any slip-ups (ADRIAN DENNIS)
Chelsea FC is reaching for its first triumph in the English Football League Cup since 2015. The Blues won the semi-final second leg against second division FC Middlesbrough 6-1 (4-0) and, like last in 2022, made it to the final.
Chelsea will meet the winner of the second semi-final duel between Fulham FC with national goalkeeper Bernd Leno and record winner Liverpool FC on Wednesday (9 p.m./DAZN) at Wembley Stadium in London on February 25th. Team manager Jürgen Klopp’s Reds won the first leg 2-1 at home.
The five-time cup winners Chelsea, on the other hand, went into the second meeting with Boro at Stamford Bridge with a 0-1 defeat. However, an own goal from Jonathan Howson (15th), Enzo Fernandez (29th), Axel Disasi (36th) and Cole Palmer (42nd) dispelled all doubts in the first half.
In the second half, Palmer (77′) and substitute Noni Madueke (81′) added further. Morgan Rogers (88th) scored the consolation goal for the outsiders.
