Chelsea is soaring to the FA Cup final on the back of an inch-perfect top corner rocket off the left foot of midfielder Nemanja Matic.

The defensive midfielder smacked home his side's fourth of the day from well outside the box, putting a pound of mustard on his shot that hit the top bar down to give Chelsea a 4-2 lead over Tottenham in this semi-final tilt.

The ball was teed up by Eden Hazard, who wiggled his way out of a tough spot before setting Matic up for the audacious effort. Hazard, for his part, added the third goal off a corner kick minutes earlier.
