Analysis: Missed chances cost Farke's side

Leeds United's desolate players and fans will leave Wembley nursing regrets as the chance to reach the FA Cup final passed them by.

In a surprisingly timid first-half display, Leeds still had a huge opportunity to take charge of the game when Brenden Aaronson ran through with only Robert Sanchez to beat, manager Daniel Farke holding his head in anguish on the sidelines as the keeper stuck out a leg to save.

Leeds finally, and belatedly, performed with purpose and intensity after half-time and Dominic Calvert-Lewin should have made more of the sort of service he thrives on when he headed straight at Sanchez while unmarked.

It was Leeds' last big moment as they simply did not possess the firepower to seriously trouble Chelsea, despite having plenty of possession.

Premier League safety will still rank as a very creditable achievement by Farke and his players this season, but they will know they could have made this a day of glory as opposed to bitter disappointment.
