“It's always going to be a difficult match against Chelsea,” Dominic Calvert-Lewin told TNT Sports after the draw.

“They're a good side, but it's the FA Cup, we're going to Wembley. Excited. I've never had the opportunity to play at Wembley for club before, so for me it was a big chance today.

“When it went to 2-2, I thought maybe it's not meant to be, but thankfully, we stuck in there and got the win.”
