The pre-match minute's silence to mark the anniversary of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster and the death of Italian footballer Piermario Morosini had to be cut short with a section of Chelsea's support jeering. The club were forced to issue an apology on its website after the match saying they were "extremely disappointed that a very small minority of fans embarrassed the club." Once the game was underway the controversy continued, centered around Chelsea's second goal. Leading 1-0 from Didier Drogba's superb first half strike, Juan Mata's shot hit a cluster of bodies on the Tottenham line, with TV replays indicating it had not crossed the line. But referee Martin Atkinson awarded the goal to spark frantic protests from incensed Tottenham players. We are extremely disappointed that a very small minority of fans embarrassed the club. Chelsea FC statement They reacted with a Gareth Bale goal, but even that had a tinge of controversy, with Atkinson ignoring Petr Cech's foul on Emmanuel Adebayor, which could have led to a red card, to play the advantage for the Welshman to score. But Chelsea responded with a superb third for Ramires before Frank Lampard put the outcome beyond doubt with a long-range free kick which wrong-footed Carlo Cudicini in the Tottenham goal. Florent Malouda scored the fifth as a dispirited Tottenham continued to make defensive errors. Chelsea will now play Liverpool in the final next month. Liverpool beat arch-rivals Everton 2-1 in Saturday's semifinal at Wembley. They also face a Champions League semifinal against Barcelona in midweek. Meanwhile in the Scottish Cup, Celtic's double hopes were ended by a 2-1 defeat to Hearts.

Craig Beattie scored form the spot before Celtic were denied a penalty in stoppage time when Andy Webster appeared to handle in the box. Hearts will play Edinburgh rivals Hibernian in the final.
