Chelsea secured a 1-0 win over Leicester on June 28, 2020, at the King Power Stadium, advancing to the FA Cup semis.

Ross Barkley's second-half goal proved decisive, as the Englishman scored after beautiful game play involving Willian and César Azpilicueta.

The win marked a vital victory for Chelsea, who joined Arsenal and Manchester United in the last four of the competition.

Chelsea's Frank Lampard made three changes at the restart, introducing Matteo Kovacic, Ross Barkley, and César Azpilicueta, with Barkley's introduction making the difference in the match.

Efforts by Leicester to restore parity in the closing stages were unsuccessful, as Chelsea held on to claim a vital win.
