Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool: The one that went to extra time

Perspective is often overlooked in football - and no longer just by fans, but by the 'experts' for the sake of a snappy soundbite or engagement on social media. It's polarised every result into a turning point or the end of the world. There's no longer an in between. And maybe - that's not really the road we want to travel. Maybe, just maybe, it might be refreshing to take a step back and look at things as they are rather than feed into some narrative or another.

Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham: The one where Saul answered the call

Saul stepping up at the right time

Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea are now just 90 minutes away from another final. And while it may not have the gravitas of a European Cup, it is the first silverware of the season and creates a winning mentality. It will also be the first time since 2015 that a team not from Manchester will have their name on the trophy.

Chelsea 6-0 Barnsley: The one King Kai scored his first ever hat-trick

If ever there was a perfect tonic for a slightly de-moralising defeat, it would be playing lower league opposition. In the Cup. At Stamford Bridge. Occasionally those teams will rock up with a swash-buckling swagger infused from the freedom of lack of expectation. This was not one of those times.

Not to undermine anyone's performance on Wednesday night, but Barnsley did offer as much help as possible. Four of their players were dinged with errors that led directly to goal. If felt as if they were trying to get the match over with as quickly as possible - forgetting that in fact, they would have to play out the full ninety no matter the scoreline.

For anyone worried about what would happen to the youngsters that won over hearts last season for Chelsea with all these new faces need not worry. Tammy Abraham showed not only was he able to rise to the challenge but integrate virtually seamlessly with some of the new faces. He may have opened the scoring but it was his link up play with Kai Havertz that really stood out. Which should give Frank Lampard more attacking headaches options than he may have anticipated.
