The big guns have certainly had it their way in the FA Cup quarter finals as Manchester United, Spurs and Chelsea make it to the last four.
The FA Cup certainly means a lot to these clubs and sports betting players who backed the favourites had the right strategy as all four of the weekend’s Cup football games went to form, the tightest match in Leicester going to extra time.
Leicester City 1-2 Chelsea
Chelsea came through a tough test well as they controlled the first half and coped easily with the Foxes’ attacking threat. And when Willian broke brilliantly to feed Alvaro Morata the Spaniard finished coolly. Leicester fought back though and Jamie Vardy poked home a leveller on 76 minutes to take the game to extra time. However, substitute Pedro rose to the occasion by noding home the winner in 105th minute.
Manchester United 2-0 Brighton & Hove Albion
Jose Mourinho told us, in an epic interview on Friday, that he has inherited a squad woefully short of being able to compete with Manchester City. But all’s well again at Old Trafford after his players responded by professionally dispatching the Seagulls in true Jose style. Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic headed home both of United’s attempts on target. Clinical.
Swansea City 0-3 Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs made the semi-finals without Harry Kane and with quite a swagger in South Wales. Christian Eriksen and Eric Lamela hit a screamer each in the first half before Eriksen added another in the second to complete a resounding win. The Swans can concentrate on Premier League survival now.
Wigan Athletic 0-2 Southampton
Paul Cook’s Wigan put up a great fight against the Saints, dominating a first half in which they were unlucky to go in level. But Mark Hughes’ first half-time pep talk at his new club did the trick, and the Premier quality showed as Pierre-Emile Hojberg and Cedric Soares scored their first goals for Southampton.
