Lucas Piazon was the hero after his goal sent Chelsea into The Final of The FA Youth Cup at the expense of ten-time winners Manchester United.

Piazon struck 20 minutes from time to secure a 3-2 aggregate victory for Adi Viveash's men, who will face Blackburn Rovers in The Final.

Jack Barmby gave United the lead and levelled it on aggregate just before the break to keep up his record of having scored in every round of The Cup, but Piazon's leveller was enough to tie the game and send Chelsea through after a thoroughly entertaining 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea went into the match looking to protect, or build upon, their first leg advantage granted to them courtesy of goals from Amin Affane and Islam Feruz.

But Viveash's side know all about Cup heartache at the hands of Manchester United. Only last year, United overturned a 3-2 first leg advantage to win 4-0 on their way to winning the trophy.

United began the game brightly, with Joe Rothwell firing over from the edge of the area before Chelsea's Todd Kane replied with a stinging drive of his own. And in a lively opening, Barmby's effort forced Jamal Blackman into a smart save down low.

Blackman brilliantly denied Rothwell minutes later with a fabulous diving save as United looked to wipe out Chelsea's first leg advantage, with James Wilson's goal at Old Trafford giving Paul McGuiness' side all the motivation they needed to reach another Final.

Chelsea struggled to begin with, but mid-way through the first half Adam Nditi's effort squirmed past Jonathan Sutherland's grasp before the United goalkeeper just managed to keep it from crossing the line.

Brazilian ace Piazon then flashed an effort wide via a deflection as the hosts finally began to exert some authority - but just as they thought they were in control, United struck.

Barmby, excellent throughout, found space on the left and drove home past Blackman to give United a deserved lead.

Sam Byrne and Piazon both had chances to score just after the break but Piazon finally got the better of Sutherland when he smashed home on 70 minutes to level the game.

And try as they might, United could not respond and Chelsea held on to reach The Final.
