Chelsea have comfortably reached the FA Cup semi-finals. The Blues thrashed League One side Port Vale 7-0 at their home ground, Stamford Bridge.
Despite being overwhelming favourites, Chelsea left nothing to chance and went straight on the attack. They were on the scoresheet as early as the second minute from a corner. Port Vale failed to clear the ball from the corner, and Jorrel Hato made the most of it with a crisp strike: 1-0.
Halfway through the first half, João Pedro doubled the score from a pass by Pedro. And before half-time, it was 3-0 thanks to an own goal by the unfortunate Port Vale defender Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel.
Just before the hour mark, Tosin Adarabioyo made it 4-0. The defender, who had pushed forward, nodded home beautifully from a measured cross by Malo Gusto.
With twenty minutes to go, Estêvão swung a corner towards the far post, where Andrey Santos popped up to score with a powerful header.
Estêvão added a goal to his assist, breaking behind the defence just in time to finish coolly. Alejandro Garnacho sealed the 7-0 scoreline from the penalty spot.
