Chelsea ended Manchester United's bid for a league and cup double courtesy of Demba Ba's acrobatic winner in a 1-0 home success after an unusually tepid FA Cup quarter-final replay at Stamford Bridge.
Rafael Benitez's side remain on course for a fourth FA Cup success in five years with Ba providing an outstanding goal for the home team when he swivelled superbly to hoist the ball beyond the visiting goalkeeper David de Gea from Juan Mata's chipped pass on 49 minutes.
The holders - who downed Liverpool 2-1 in last year's final - will face Manchester City at Wembley on April 14.
United were without Wayne Rooney due to a groin injury while Robin van Persie started on the bench after turning out less than 48 hours earlier in the 1-0 win over Sunderland in the Premier League.
