ManU to face Chelsea in Final

While Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino wins admiration for his style of football, the manager has yet to actually win a trophy in management.

A 2-1 collapse to United at Wembley Stadium on Saturday left Tottenham reeling from an eighth successive loss in the FA Cup semifinals.

Pochettino is responsible for two of the setbacks, having also fallen short against Chelsea last season, plus lost the League Cup final in 2015.

"We can't keep doing this," Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli said. "We can't throw it away. We have got to improve."

Alli's goal gave the 1991 FA Cup winners hope of turning around their miserable recent record in world football's oldest knockout competition.

But Alexis Sanchez leveled in the 24th minute and Ander Herrera struck the winner in the second half. It ensured Mourinho, who won the League Cup and Europa League in his first season at United, has a chance to also end this campaign with silverware against Chelsea or Southampton in the FA Cup final.

"We're getting used to being in finals," Herrera said. "This club is all about titles and finals."

While Mourinho has fallen short in the English Premier League behind newly crowned champion Manchester City, United is second and on course for its highest finish since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

Tottenham would settle with holding onto fourth place to secure a third season in a row in the Champions League. That ensures Tottenham lands another UEFA windfall, but not the prestige of being title winners.

Chelsea enter final

Chelsea will meet Manchester United in the FA Cup final after beating Southampton 2-0 in the second semi at Wembley Stadium on Sunday with goals from Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata.

Giroud, who had been selected ahead of Morata to spearhead Chelsea's attack, scored the first goal within 30 seconds of the second half starting with a mesmerising piece of dribbling deep inside the Southampton penalty area.

Having been found by Hazard, the Frenchman picked his way past Southampton defenders to leave himself a simple tap-in from close range.

Morata, who came on to replace Giroud in the second half, headed Chelsea's second in the 82nd minute with a simple header following a cross from defender Cesar Azpilicueta.

Chelsea coach Antonio Conte had opted for Giroud, who was bought on the final day of the January transfer window from Arsenal, after his two goals last weekend against Southampton helped the Blues come from behind to win 3-2.

Chelsea had most of the possession during the first half but could not translate their dominance into goals. Willian went closest to giving Chelsea a lead in the first half but his 7th minute left-footed drive following a swift counterattack hit the bar.
