... and snow still falling here in Baden.
As I said yesterday, falling behind early would be fatal. And so it proved with United tonight. Frank Lampard's 29th-minute marker put Chelsea up and challenged United to respond with two of their own. Giggsy's equalizer minutes after the hour gave us hope momentarily, but Fergie's unbeaten record in domestic cup semi's had to fall some time. Damien Duff's free-kick, more freakish than Ronaldinho's flighted goal on David Seaman and from a worse position, ensured that Chelsea will go on to face Liverpool, who beat Watford last night, in next month's final. United, meanwhile, must regroup for Saturday's FA Cup 4th round draw with Middlesbrough. Getting knocked out of two cup competitions within the span of four days will most certainly see heads roll.
