Chelsea's Ross Barkley scored the winning goal in the 63rd minute to secure a 1-0 victory over Leicester City in their FA Cup quarter-final match on June 28, 2020, at the King Power Stadium in Leicester, Britain.

The win marked Chelsea's entry into the FA Cup semi-finals, joining Manchester United and Arsenal in the last four.

Leicester City, who were missing the creativity of James Maddison due to a minor hip problem, struggled to respond to Chelsea's improved performance in the second half.

Meanwhile, Arsenal secured their spot in the FA Cup semi-finals with a 2-1 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on June 28, 2020.

Substitute Daniel Ceballos scored the winning goal in stoppage time to seal the victory for Arsenal, who are ninth in the Premier League table.

“Today we didn’t give up, even when they got the equaliser because you have to prepare for the extra time anyway. We believed until the end and we got rewarded,” Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi told BT Sport.
