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.

Chechnya leader makes Mo Salah honorary citizen

Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov has made Egypt’s talismanic striker Mohamed Salah an honorary citizen of the southern Russian region at a farewell banquet held for the eliminated World Cup side.

Chechnya has been hosting the Egyptian team’s World Cup training camp and Kremlin-backed Kadyrov has seized on opportunities to appear alongside Salah. Sarah’s goalscoring exploits for Liverpool and Egypt have made him an international superstar. “Mohamed Salah is an honorary citizen of the Chechen Republic. “Yes, that’s right!

Oil prices rise amidst uncertainty over Libyan crude exports

Oil prices rose, Tuesday on uncertainty over Libyan oil exports, although plans by producer cartel OPEC to raise output loom. Brent sweet crude futures, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at 74.95 dollars per barrel at 01.04 GMT, up 22 cents, or 0.3 per cent from their last close. The United States West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at 68.33 dollars a barrel, up 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent. Traders said prices were mostly driven higher by uncertainty around oil exports by Libya, a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Eastern Libyan commander, Khalifa Haftar’s forces have handed control of oil ports to a separate National Oil Corporation (NOC) based in the East of the country. The official state-owned oil company based in the capital Tripoli, also called NOC, will not be allowed to handle that oil anymore, he said. In comments later confirmed to the media, Ahmed Mismari, spokesman of Haftar’s Libya National Army...
