Chelsea moved into the semifinals of the FA Cup with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in a bad-tempered match at Stamford Bridge on Monday. N'Golo Kante scored the only goal after 51 minutes with a shot from 20 yards, but the turning point in the match came after 35 minutes.

A series of fouls on Eden Hazard culminated in Michael Oliver, the referee calling the latest miscreant, Phil Jones, and his captain Chris Smalling over to issue a warning.
