CHELSEA and Manchester United advanced to the semifinals of the FA Cup with victories in quarterfinal replays Monday night.

A magical 55th minute goal conjured against the run of play from Andriy Shevchenko and a second scorcher nine minutes later from Shaun Wright-Phillips earned Chelsea its win in the replay at Tottenham’s White Hart Lane stadium in London.

Spurs coach Martin Jol said he felt Chelsea had not been the better team and his own side’s pressure had panicked Chelsea players at times.

“Shevchenko scored a great goal and that was the difference today,” he said.
