Half-time: Chelsea 1 Man City 1

A much-changed Manchester City side equalised at Stamford Bridge two minutes after Diego Costa had put Chelsea ahead in the FA Cup fifth round clash.

Costa scored with a diving header 10 minutes before half-time but teenager David Faupala – one of five City players making their full debut – hauled the visitors level.

Pedro had almost given Chelsea an early lead when he exchanged passes with fellow Spaniard Cesc Fabregas before nudging the ball beyond keeper Willy Caballero and against the far post.

Fabregas then set up Costa, who was crowded out by the City defence, and the midfielder also had a left-footed shot from near the edge of the penalty area saved by Caballero.

Fabregas was involved in the opening goal too, lifting the ball towards Eden Hazard, whose left-wing cross enabled Costa to score from five yards out – the striker’s 13th goal of the season.

However, although Chelsea were well on top, forwards Faupala and Kelechi Iheanacho, both 19, have looked a threat on the counter-attack.

Faupala had an effort saved by Thibaut Courtois and Iheanacho fired over before a slick City move culminated in Iheanacho teeing his strike partner up to score from close range.

Chelsea were somewhat unlucky as Cesar Azpilcueta’s attempted clearance struck Faupala and rebounded into the net.

And they would have quickly regained the lead had Caballero not made a stunning save to deny Pedro at point-blank range following Fabregas’ cross.
