Chelsea face Man Utd in FA Cup final as Giroud sinks SouthamptonSunday, April 22nd 2018 at 19:39 GMT +3 | Football By AFP:Chelsea's Olivier Giroud celebrates after scoring his side opening goal during the English FA Cup semifinal soccer match between Chelsea and Southampton. (Frank Augstein / AP)Chelsea booked an FA Cup final showdown with Manchester United as Olivier Giroud tormented Southampton again with a sublime strike in Sunday's 2-0 win at Wembley. Giroud has made a habit of scoring against Southampton and the France forward was their nemesis in a one-sided semi-final. Chelsea's 13th FA Cup final appearance will be a repeat of the 2007 showpiece, when Jose Mourinho's men won 1-0. Winning the FA Cup might not be enough to convince either Conte or Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich that their two-year partnership should be extended.
