After 26 minutes, with Chelsea ahead 1-0, the winger had a penalty opportunity to extend their lead. Even though he helped set up Cole Palmer’s goal for the final buzzer of the half, Leicester got back on equal footing after the break and the Blues advanced to the semi-finals thanks to two goals in stoppage time.
“To all the Chelsea fans, apologies for the penalty miss,” Sterling said on Instagram, expressing his regret to the club’s supporters despite the win. I will return with a tenfold increase in strength to assist the squad in winning and to persistently strive for the badge daily.
The Stamford Bridge club has advanced to the quarterfinals, where they will face Manchester City, the current winners, in the final. On the other hand, the other semi-final pits Manchester United against Coventry.

Raheem Sterling was left out of the most recent England squad due to his lacklustre performance for Chelsea; Sunday’s FA Cup match against Leicester didn’t help matters either.
Marc Cucurella put Chelsea up 1-0 early in the first half, and Leicester appeared to be losing momentum when Sterling, instead of the chosen kicker Cole Palmer, took a penalty after being fouled in the penalty area.
The Chelsea forward tried to send the ball center-field, but Leicester’s goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk made a comfortable save as the ball sailed wide to the right.

Sterling receives encouraging word from PochettinoMauricio Pochettino, Chelsea’s manager, offered encouragement to the attacker after the match. Today is a fantastic chance to show our support for him; I thought he was fantastic. Despite his impressive resume, he was unable to capitalize on two penalty kicks and several other opportunities today. He has played for major teams before, so he is clearly an experienced player.
