Leeds United discover opponents in FA Cup final if overcoming Chelsea after huge scare
Leeds United now know who they will face in the FA Cup final - if they get through.
Leeds United have discovered their opponents in the FA Cup final if overcoming Chelsea after a huge scare.
Daniel Farke’s Whites will face historic bitter rivals Chelsea on Sunday afternoon in the club’s first FA Cup semi-final appearance for 39 years.
The competition’s first semi-final took place on Saturday evening, for which Manchester City were naturally huge favourites against Championship side Southampton.
Southampton though put themselves on course to cause a massive shock after going 1-0 ahead to give City a huge scare but Pep Guardiola’s side quickly recovered to seal a 2-1 victory in normal time.
A fantastic strike from Finn Azaz fired the Saints ahead with just 11 minutes left but Jeremy Doku equalised just three minutes later and Nico Gonzalez netted what proved the game’s winning goal three minutes from time.
It means City now lie in wait for either Leeds or Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday, May 16.
