Carney Chukwuemeka Rescues Chelsea with Last-Gasping Strike in FA Cup Thriller
Blues Reach Semi-Finals After 4-2 Victory Over Leicester
Chelsea U19 Player Inspires Comeback with Late Winner
Chelsea overcame a determined Leicester City side with a thrilling 4-2 victory in the FA Cup quarterfinals on Sunday, thanks to a stoppage-time strike from rising star Carney Chukwuemeka. The 18-year-old came off the bench to inspire a memorable comeback for the Blues, who trailed 2-0 at one point in the match.
Leicester, reduced to 10 men after James Justin's red card in the second half, had taken the lead through Marc Albrighton and Harvey Barnes. However, Chelsea fought back with goals from Timo Werner, Mason Mount, and Ben Chilwell before Chukwuemeka's dramatic late winner.
The victory was a testament to the resilience and depth of Chelsea's squad, who have now reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the fourth time in five seasons. It was also a special moment for Chukwuemeka, who has impressed at youth level and made his first-team debut earlier this season.
The win extends Chelsea's unbeaten run to seven matches in all competitions and gives them a boost ahead of their upcoming fixtures, including the Champions League quarter-final clash against Real Madrid.
