Chelsea stroll into FA Cup final after De Gea error

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea's disastrous performance in Wembley cost his team a shot at FA Cup glory.

It saw Chelsea stroll to a 3-1 victory and set up an FA Cup final date with Arsenal.

De Gea was mocked on social media after he failed to stop Olivier Giroud's opening goal just before half-time, and let Mason Mount's shot into the net moments after the restart.

At the 74th minute, captain Harry Maguire added to the woes by putting the ball into his own net.

Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes did convert a penalty later on but it was a tad too late.
