Chelsea 2-0 Stoke. Alex shines in Chelsea win & Villa in the Semi's.

In what could of proved to be a difficult tie today Chelsea eased past Stoke with goals from Frank Lampard and John Terry. It was a game that would test Chelsea up against the Rory Delap long throw and you have to say overall Chelsea dealt with it professionally and did well. Apart from a slight blip in the first half that led to Jon Obi Mikel clearing off of the line after a half clearance fell to Whitehead, Chelsea looked comfortable until the closing stages when the un-worked Hilario saved with his feet from Ricardo Fuller at his near post.
