Chelsea 5 Manchester United 4: Capital punishment
Eden Hazard scored from the penalty spot in the last minute of added time to hand Chelsea a Capital One Cup reprieve and send their tie against Manchester United into extra time.
And Daniel Sturridge put Chelsea into the quarter-final when he capitalised on a second mistake in seven minutes by young United defender Scott Wootton after 97 minutes.
Hazard had stepped up to beat Anders Lindegaard with a nonchalant penalty after Wootton had bundled into the back of Ramires.
And, when Wootton’s woeful header back fell to Sturridge, the England striker netted Chelsea’s fourth and decisive goal.
Ramires put the result beyond doubt when he rounded off some excellent work by Hazard to score Chelsea’s fifth.
