A brief review of this campaign, the opening stage of the game, the away Plymouth team is the main guest, in terms of possession and organization, they started to play very actively, but as the game time progressed, Chelsea gradually grasped the rhythm of the game, in terms of possession rate, they turned the situation around, as high as 65%, while Plymouth only 35% possession, in terms of control of the scene, Plymouth gradually lost its dominant advantage. In this regard, Chelsea does have some slow heat, but this is also very reasonable, after all, the opponent is not strong, and Chelsea also plays with reservations.

Near the 41st minute of the second half, Chelsea's crazy attack was rewarded, Azpilicueta scored a goal to help Chelsea equalize 1-1, originally thought that this goal also sounded the horn of Chelsea's attack, thinking that after breaking the deadlock, they would continue to score goals, at least 2-3 goals on goal difference, but what was never like was that after 1-1, the two sides entered a state of glue, and in the regular 90 minutes, there was no achievement in each other's attacks and defenses, until the 106th minute of the game. The situation changed again, Chelsea laughed to the end, with Alonso's goal, with a score of 2-1 reverse Plymouth, at the same time, this goal also became a killer team, Chelsea finally refused to upset, advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.
