Chelsea booked a FA Cup final ticket as they beat Arsenal 2-1 at Wembley on Saturday.

Chelsea will face the winners of Sunday’s semifinal between Manchester United and Everton, which is also to take place at Wembley.

Cote d’Ivoire striker Didier Drogba proved his value again as the former Olympique Marseille player sealed the win for the London team pouncing on Frank Lampard’s lofted pass with six minutes remaining.

It was Arsenal that broke the deadlock in the 18th minute through Theo Walcott’s volley.

Chelsea’s equalizer came from the unlikely source of winger Florent Malouda on 33 minutes.

Arsenal had the better second-half chances before some hesitation by second-choice goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski let in Drogba who slotted home from a tight angle.
