Chelsea beat Manchester united to book FA Cup final clash with Arsenal

Chelsea defeated Manchester United 3-1 in the semi finals of the FA Cup at Wembley stadium on Sunday, no thanks to errors from David de Gea.

The win means Chelsea have reached the final for the third time in five years and will play against Arsenal on August 1.

United’s defeat is the sixth time they have lost to Chelsea in the FA Cup. The win is also Chelsea’s first victory against the Red Devils since the 2018 FA Cup final.

Manchester United were on a 19-game unbeaten streak before the defeat against the Blues, no thanks to de Gea, their error-prone Spanish goalkeeper.

The 29-year-old gifted the first goal to Olivier Giroud deep into first half injury time. He failed to stop the French striker’s feeble flick to hand the Blues a 1-0 lead.

De Gea also handed Chelsea the second goal in the first minute after the interval. The former Atletico Madrid shot stopper spilled Mason Mount’s feeble shot from 25 yards out for a 2-0 lead.
It went from bad to worse for United as Harry Maguire added an own goal to give Chelsea a 3-0 lead. The England defender diverted Marcos Alonso’s cross into his own net to confirm Chelsea’s qualification.

Although Bruno Fernandes’ penalty reduced the deficit, it was not enough to spark a comeback, consigning the Red Devils to a defeat, their first since the restart of football activities in England.

Kenyan Law Court dismisses case of man seeking compensation after his wife eloped with another man from hospital

A lawsuit filed by a man seeking to be compensated by St Mary's Mission Hospital in Kenya for allowing his wife to leave the hospital with another man after giving birth, has been struck out by a law court. The appellant had sued the St. Mary's Mission hospital at Kakamega law courts in 2020 seeking general damages from the facility on grounds that the hospital had discharged his wife and allowed her to leave with another man. After delivering and at the time of discharge, the wife of the appellant claimed he was the baby's father. The court of appeal judges Patrick Kiage, Mumbi Ngugi and Francis Tuiyott sitting at the Kisumu Court of Appeal, empathized with the man, but disagreed that he (the appellant) be compensated by the hospital for not detaining his wife. They upheld the lower court's judgement which added that there's no remedy that lies in the law for such grievances. Kiage said; "I agree that if a man takes the woman he loves to t...

Togo prime Minister Komi Klassou resigns

Togo’s prime minister and his government have resigned, the West African nation’s presidency said late Friday. President Faure Gnassingbe congratulated prime minister Komi Selom Klassou and his team for their “economic, political and social efforts and the encouraging results despite the health crisis around the world”, a statement on the presidency’s official website said. Togo has been due for a political reshuffle since Gnassingbe was reelected in February for a fourth term in office, but changes were delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. The president’s election win, which came after a constitutional change allowing him to run, extended more than a half-century of dynastic rule over the former French colony by the Gnassingbe family. The victory was disputed by the main opposition challenger, who has faced official harassment in the wake of the vote. The president has led the country of eight million people since taking over in 2005 following the death of his father Gnass...
