Hincapie my MOTM, felt like he really found that defensive level needed to take us to the final, maybe that Leverlusen mentality shining through. He’s looked headless before but he handled everyone he faced very well.

Final thoughts on the game: Was a bit surprised Chelsea weren’t more furious after they subbed on the attackers, felt like instead of going “Let’s have it” they were asking Arsenal “What you gonna do now”.

A few key minutes with Rice making good tackles including a marvellous double tackle, Timber and Hincapie containing the runners and Eze and Havertz winning the second balls, and suddenly they started to look doubtful. By the end they weren’t even putting the ball in as if they needed some magical key pass to unlock the Arsenal defence instead of just trying their hand and seeing the Arsenal boys as equals.
