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.
350 - Nemanja Matic has scored his first goal for Chelsea since 7th May 2016 vs Sunderland, 350 days ago. Thrash.

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.
