Goals by Didier Drogba and Juan Mata either side of halftime put Chelsea in command before Gareth Bale replied for Spurs but Ramires, Frank Lampard and Florent Malouda struck again for the Blues who will meet Liverpool in the final next month. Mata's goal in the 49th minute proved a major turning point as his shot appeared to have been blocked before crossing the line only for referee Martin Atkinson to award the goal. In the end the decision did not prove decisive as Chelsea ran out easy winner to give itself a boost before hosting Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals Wednesday. The one worry for Chelsea was an injury to central defender David Luiz who went off on a stretcher in the second half. With a Cup final booked on May 5, Chelsea now face a massive week as they take on Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final before a Premier League clash with Arsenal next weekend. Players, fans pay respects to Morosini Livorno players and fans gathered at the team's stadium Sunday to pay their respects, a day after midfielder Piermario Morosini collapsed and died after suffering a cardiac arrest during a Serie B match at Pescara. Morosini, who was on loan from Serie A side Udinese, collapsed in the 31st minute of the match Saturday and tried unsuccessfully to get up several times before receiving urgent medical attention on the pitch. A defibrillator was used on the player, who also had his heart massaged, before an ambulance arrived on the pitch to take him to hospital where doctors tried unsuccessfully to revive him for around 90 minutes. The Livorno players along with thousands of fans arrived at the team's Armando Picchi stadium to lay flowers, scarves and banners under Morosini's shirt, which has been placed on the main gate. Morosini's former teammates were in tears as they hugged each other and fans before placing a pennant on the gate. Livorno reserve goalkeeper Luca Mazzoni also revealed that Morosini's last words were “come on guys, let's get a result.”
