Chelsea 2 Crystal Palace 0 LIVE REACTION: Blues ease past Palace to set up mouth-watering FA Cup final with Liverpool

That's all from Wembley

So, Chelsea march on to the final where they will meet Liverpool. Crystal Palace bow out after a brilliant Cup run. They fell just short of Tuchel's side today.

Thanks for your company. Goodnight!

Tuchel full of praise for Loftus-Cheek

He was excellent. He was very, very strong against Southampton and Madrid and would have deserved to start, but honestly we expected a back four and we wanted more of a classic wing-back position. We also wanted Azpilicueta on the field as our captain, but we knew Ruben could make an impact from the bench. We're very happy with him at the moment. He is always like this in training but sometimes he has hidden his potential in matches... I'm happy to be part of another FA Cup final. it's a huge competition; I'm very grateful and we will be ready.

Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea boss

Mount amongst the goals again

This afternoon marks his fourth goal in his last three Chelsea appearances.

Loftus-Cheek knew his time would come

Ruben Loftus-Cheek opened the scoring this afternoon, proving his worth to the Chelsea fans. But it hasn't been an easy road, as he mentions in his post match interview:

It's been a tough road for me, with injuries and going out on loan. Bit I always wanted to play for Chelsea and I've played quite a lot this season so I'm happy. I think the goal took a little deflection, but I'll take it! The noise was incredible and I'm overjoyed. It looked a bit slow in the first half so I wanted to bring a bit of energy. Th reason why I'm still here is because of my mentality despite all the injuries. i keep going no matter what, and i've said for many years my time would come.
