Wilder’s side were disappointing in the loss, failing to trouble Mendy at all with less than 40 percent possession despite being behind for more than an hour. The cup run comes to an end for Middlesbrough while Chelsea advance to the semi-finals.

Despite a great deal off off-field uncertainty, Chelsea picked up another impressive result by booking their place in the FA Cup semi-final with victory at Middlesbrough on Saturday evening.

Romelu Lukaku silenced a very noisy Riverside early when he converted from close range after Hakim Ziyech played Mason Mount down the line and he centred for the striker to score. Birthday boy Ziyech doubled Chelsea’s lead on the half hour mark with a moment of magic as he cut in from the right and unleashed a wicked bending strike that whipped beyond Joe Lumley’s grasp and into the far corner.
