Well that was very very satisfying. We've had plenty of miserable trips to Stamford Bridge in recent years (no win since 2012) so it's extra sweet to get the victory, knock Chelsea out of the cup (oh yeah they were the holders) and in such a huge game in our season.
Two first-half goals were the difference, both headers from fine crosses into the box, first from Herrera and then Pogba. In the second-half Chelsea threw everything at us but our defensive organisation was outstanding. We were under pressure again and again but every player defended resolutely and Romero had no saves of note to make. Really encouraging signs to see us defending so well after some of the shambolic defensive displays we've seen this season.
So we're into the FA Cup quarter-finals, with Manchester City the only team in the top 6 left in the draw. Let's see what the upcoming draw brings...
