On 21 April, Chelsea reached the FA Cup Final after defeating Southampton 2–0 at Wembley Stadium. Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud received the ball from Eden Hazard and jinked his way past two Southampton players in a crowded area before he stabbed the ball home. With ten minutes to play, Giroud was replaced by Álvaro Morata, who ensured progression with Chelsea's second goal after he headed-in at the back post from a César Azpilicueta cross. Southampton went close with Nathan Redmond's low drive from distance, while Charlie Austin hit the post. The victory meant Chelsea manager Antonio Conte would match-up against managerial adversary José Mourinho at Wembley on 19 May against Manchester United.
