Chelsea thrashed
Tottenham to set up an FA Cup final meeting with Liverpool - but the
victory was accompanied by fierce controversy that renewed the debate
over the need for goalline technology.The scoreline reflects an emphatic win for Roberto di Matteo's side as they received the perfect lift before Wednesday's
Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona at Stamford
Bridge.
Spurs, however, were left complaining bitterly that
they were the victims of an injustice that swung the destiny of this
all-London confrontation decisively in Chelsea's favour when referee
Martin Atkinson made a crucial intervention just after the interval.
Chelsea were leading through Didier Drogba's goal when
Ledley King and Benoit Assou-Ekotto blocked Juan Mata's shot in a
chaotic goalmouth scramble.The ball did not appear to cross the line, a view
supported by television replays as Blues captain John Terry also joined
the melee, but referee Atkinson awarded the goal - to the obvious anger
of Spurs and their management team.
Harry Redknapp's players pleaded with the officials to
reconsider, but their protests were in vain and Chelsea had taken a
decisive hold on the game.Gareth Bale gave his side hope with a goal shortly
afterwards but the real damage was done and Chelsea reasserted their
authority to finish easy winners with further goals from Ramires, Frank
Lampard and Florent Malouda.
Chelsea will point to that victory margin as
confirmation of their superiority - but Spurs will complain their hopes
of turning the game around were damaged fatally by Atkinson's decision.
The referee seemed well placed to award the goal, but
video evidence suggested the protests were well founded and the incident
only strengthens the case of those lobbying for technology to assist
officials.
Before kick-off, a section of Chelsea's support sadly
let themselves and their club down by noisily interrupting the silence
held in memory of the Hillsborough disaster and for Livorno midfielder
Piermario Morosini,
who collapsed and died after suffering a heart attack during a Serie B game on Saturday.
After early sparring, Spurs started to take control as
the interval approached and twice came close to taking the lead. Terry
blocked Rafael van der Vaart's header on the line and the same player
saw his cross strike the post after Adebayor was unable to apply a
touch.
So it was against the run of play that their London
rivals took the lead two minutes before the interval through Drogba. He
rolled William Gallas inside the area before flashing a stunning finish
high past keeper Carlo Cudicini.
The second half was only four minutes old when the
moment arrived that will leave Spurs and their supporters nursing wounds
about this semi-final forever.
David Luiz and Terry challenged for headers and when
the loose ball fell to Mata, his shot was blocked on the line by a
bundle of bodies that included King, Assou-Ekotto and Terry. Referee
Atkinson was swift to award the goal as Mata wheeled away in celebration
- much to the disgust of the Spurs players.
Fuelled by their fury, Spurs surged forward and gave
themselves hope after 56 minutes when Scott Parker's precise
through-ball released Adebayor. He was pulled down in the area by Cech
but referee Atkinson allowed play to continue for Bale to roll the ball
into an empty net.
The goal also cost the Blues the services of Luiz, who
was injured in attempting to clear and was taken off on a stretcher and
replaced by Gary Cahill.
Tottenham pushed forward in an attempt to complete the
recovery - but only succeeded in leaving themselves wide open to
Chelsea's attacks and Redknapp's side ended in total disarray.
The Blues reopened their two-goal advantage with 13
minutes left when Mata found time and space to play in Ramires, who
lifted a composed finish over Cudicini as the keeper came out.
All that remained was for the west Londoners to
complete the formalities and they did so in style against a Spurs side
thoroughly demoralised in the closing stages.
Lampard's spectacular free-kick from 30 yards left
Cudicini helpless and, with Redknapp's men waiting to be put out of
their misery, Malouda escaped the attentions of their defence to add a
simple fifth to confirm that it is Chelsea who will be back at Wembley
to face Liverpool on 5 May.

did you hear terry in the after match interview saying he didnt think it crossed the line
he run off celebrating
but they all saying what an honest guy terry is for saying it

Well thats OK then Redknapp, just an 'onest mistake eh ? Just so long as you don't get a bad looking disrepute mark on your fekin CV . . . . . .




Referee admitted Mata goal mistake, says Harry Redknapp

Harry Redknapp revealed referee Martin Atkinson admitted he made a
mistake in awarding Chelsea's second goal as they thrashed Tottenham 5-1
in the FA Cup semi-final - then insisted video technology must now be
introduced.Chelsea were leading 1-0 when Atkinson ruled that Juan
Mata's 49th-minute shot had crossed the line despite furious Spurs
protests insisting that the ball had been blocked by Ledley King and
Benoit Assou-Ekotto. Replays confirmed Mata's shot had not gone
in and Spurs manager Redknapp said: "The second goal was a disaster for
us. It was an honest mistake by the referee but it was nowhere near the
line."The referee has made a big mistake. He hasn't done it
on purpose but I don't see how he could give the goal. It wasn't as if
someone kicked it away and it all happened so quickly."Redknapp added: "He must have guessed because he
couldn't have been sure. He has made an honest decision but has made a
mistake - but he's not done it on purpose."I spoke to him and he said he feels worse than I do
about it - I said 'I don't think so.' He said he feels bad and he's
going to have a bad week but there is nothing we can do about it now.
