Chelsea set United final

Chelsea booked an FA Cup final 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 semifinal as the former Arsenal star produced a tremendous piece of skill to break the deadlock early in the second half.

His fourth goal for Chelsea was followed by a late header from substitute Morata, setting up the heavyweight final against United at Wembley on May 19.

That will be Chelsea's last chance to win major silverware at the end of a troubled season. But Conte doesn't believe Chelsea, beaten by Arsenal 2-1 in last year's final despite going into the match as Premier League champions, will be regarded as favourites to lift the famous trophy.
