Chelsea won 2-1 at Tottenham and Manchester United edged Middlesbrough 1-0 to reach the FA Cup semi-finals on Monday and move a step closer to the dream final when it returns to Wembley.Second-half goals by Andriy Shevchenko and Shaun Wright-Phillips put Chelsea ahead in a quarter final replay at White Hart Lane before Robbie Keane replied for Spurs from the penalty spot.The victory keeps Chelsea, who have already won the League Cup, in contention for a sweep of titles in the FA Cup, European Champions League and English Premier League.“For me it’s a special season already. We were champions in the first season and the second. The problems we had (this season) only this team with this character could survive,” manager Jose Mourinho said.Trouble erupted near the end of both games, however. A Spurs fan ran onto the field toward the celebrating Chelsea players and tried to hit Frank Lampard while United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz was pulled away from the Middlesbrough coaches, who had accused Ronaldo of diving to get the penalty in their quarter final replay.Cristiano Ronaldo scored United’s winner in the 76th minute at Old Trafford, converting a penalty after he had been fouled by Jonathan Woodgate.“For me it is a penalty. Of course I felt contact, that is why I slipped. If he touches me I lose my movement and that is why I go down. He kicked me.“Maybe some people don’t like me. Maybe I’m too good,” Ronaldo said.In the semi-finals, United, who have won a record 12 FA Cup titles, will face Watford, who are last in the Premier League, while Chelsea meet Blackburn. The semi-finals will be played over the weekend April 14-15 with the final scheduled for Wembley on May 19.
