FA Cup

Chelsea thank Lampard

AFP, London
Frank Lampard bundled in a late equaliser for Chelsea to take Arsenal to an FA Cup quarter-final replay in a thriller at Highbury on Saturday.
The match was a repeat of last year's final which Arsenal won 2-0, but Chelsea were not to be beaten this time round.
After taking an early lead through John Terry, Chelsea went behind to goals from Francis Jeffers and Thierry Henry's strike on the stroke of half-time before Lampard produced a goal in the 83rd minute to salvage a 2-2 draw.
The midfielder came out on top in a goalmouth melee to rescue the Blues' hopes of silverware this season and hold up Arsenal's march to a second double.
Lampard said Chelsea had earned their right to a replay, which will take place at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, March 25.
"I think we started well but Arsenal could have scored more in the first half," he said.
"We were devastated at halftime but we came back and I think we deserved the draw with the
character we showed."
Chelsea got the match off to a flying start when defender Terry gave them a quickfire lead just four minutes into the contest.
Gianfranco Zola capitalised on sloppy Arsenal defending to burst through on goal. The Italian beat the chasing defenders but England keeper David Seaman did well to parry his low drive and the north Londoners cleared for a corner.
Former Gunner Emmanuel Petit took the resulting corner and played it low to Jesper Gronkjaer on the edge of the box. The Dane's curling cross sailed to Terry at the back post. Unmarked but onside, he powered his header into his top left hand corner of Seaman's goal to shock the Highbury faithful.
Their hopes of a swift equaliser were dashed when Henry fluffed a brilliant chance to level the tie as Arsenal won a dubious penalty with 19 minutes gone.
Jeffers was played clean through on goal and Chelsea keeper Carlo Cudicini appeared to bring him
down. Experienced referee Paul Durkin pointed to the spot, but a closer inspection revealed the striker was already going to ground before contact was made.
Cudicini was booked, but instantly became the hero as he pushed Henry's low penalty to the right out for a corner.
Arsenal were not put off though and piled forward in search of an equaliser. Stout Chelsea defending kept the score in their favour as the Gunners cannoned in crosses.
But playing through the middle proved much more successful when Jeffers beat Cudicini for the first time in the FA Cup this season on 37 minutes.
Henry went down in a tangle on the edge of the box. The ball broke for Freddie Ljungberg, whose shot was parried by Cudicini. Celestine Babayaro should have cleared the danger, but he miscued dreadfully in front of goal and Jeffers bundled the ball over the line.
Just two minutes later, Henry was a whisker away from bagging a
second. He burst through Chelsea's back line and was all alone as he bore down on Cudicini. He calmly slotted the ball past the Italian keeper, only to see his shot come back off the post.
Arsenal levelled when they hit Chelsea with a sucker punch in stoppage time at the end of the first half. Sol Campbell's chipped pass over the top from the centre circle saw Henry break the offside trap and steam towards the lonely Cudicini yet again. The Italian slid in on the French forward on the edge of the area, but Henry's swivel on the spot left him with a clear shot into the empty net.
But with only six minutes to go, the west London side did snatch a vital equaliser from a corner to keep them on course for some silverware and send their fans into raptures.
Boudein Zenden's set piece came to Mario Melchiot who flicked it goalwards. In a mad scramble, Lampard, without knowing too much about it, somehow managed to poke the ball through the melee and past the stranded Seaman.
