Relegation-threatened Southampton were outplayed for most of the match, but defended manfully during a dour first half, during which Chelsea forward Willian hit the crossbar. The Saints were forced to move out of their half after Giroud's goal and came close to equalising in the 72nd minute when Chelsea keeper Willy Caballero's save kept out Nathan Redmond's rasping shot. They also had a possible goal not given when Charlie Austin was judged to have fouled the keeper. Austin then hit the post in the dying minutes of the game.Most @EmiratesFACup goals since start of 2012-13 season 15 - OLIVIER GIROUD 15 - Sergio Aguero 13 - Danny Hylton 12 - Romelu Lukaku 10 - Theo Walcott pic.twitter.com/dzcPwDCY0i

Chelsea will meet Jose Mourinho's United at Wembley on May 19 after the Manchester side beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in the first semi-final Saturday. The clash will have added spice because of the tension between former Chelsea boss Mourinho and current coach Antonio Conte. Chelsea are fifth in the league but Hazard said they had not given up hope of making the top four and getting a Champions League spot as well as winning the FA Cup.Giroud just turned into Messi...sort of.
