It was really a bad day for the Manchester United - the Premier League toppers to have had an un-ceremonial exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Chelsea today at Stamford Bridge.
Demba Ba was the hero of the match whose lone goal in 49th minute brought glory to the Blues and shame for the Red Devils.
The Red Devils who were without Wayne Rooney because of a groin injury lacked some of their usual menace but it still took a save of the highest class from Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech to keep out Javier Hernandez's header as they pressed for an equalizer.
Now Chelsea meet in Manchester City in the semi final of the FA Cup at Wembley.
Ba's athletic finish early in the second half leaves United concentrating on winning the Premier League title - with a 20th title all but secured as they currently hold a 15-point advantage.
Chelsea's interim and troubled manager Rafael Benitez, meanwhile, was able to celebrate victory over old adversary Sir Alex Ferguson and remains in contention to win the FA Cup and Europa League.
