Chelsea came through a tough test against Leicester as their FA Cup quarter-final went to extra-time on Sunday, and fans have taken to Twitter to rip into the performance of midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko. 

Alvaro Morata scored his first goal in eleven games when he put Chelsea ahead with a tidy finish after being played through on goal by Willian.

Jamie Vardy bundled home after a goalmouth scramble to bring Leicester level in the second-half, and his equaliser saw the game head into extra-time after 90 minutes.

While Leicester did look the better team for much of the game it was the Blues who managed to score that crucial extra-time goal and secure their place in the last four of the competition.

Substitute Pedro was the scorer, with the Spain international beating Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to the ball after N’Golo Kante’s lofted cross.

Chelsea managed to see the win out and ease the pressure on Antonio Conte, who is looking for his second trophy in charge of the club.

The Blues now face a favourable semi-final tie against Southampton, who beat League One side Wigan 2-0 in the earlier game on Sunday.

Midfielder Bakayoko started alongside Kante in midfield but put in another poor display before being hauled off at half-time by Conte, and fans took to Twitter to slam the 23-year-old.
