The Senegal international, who had only scored once for Chelsea in his previous 10 appearances, struck in the 49th minute when he allowed a lofted ball from Juan Mata to drift over his shoulder before stretching to volley it into the far corner beyond a helpless David De Gea.

A stunning save from Chelsea's Petr Cech 14 minutes later was the other highlight of an otherwise relatively tame game, the keeper acrobatically stretching back to tip a header from Javier Hernandez over the bar.

Chelsea, who have won the cup four times in the last six seasons, will meet City, the 2011 winners, at Wembley on April 14. Championship (second tier) side Millwall will Premier League Wigan Athletic in the other semi at Wembley the day before. — Reuters

"We are going to talk with him about it. But frankly, we really want to keep him with us next season," al-Khelaifi told French sports daily L'Equipe today.

Beckham, 37, joined the wealthy French side as a free agent in January on a five-month deal and said he was considering a second season at the capital club.

"He's fantastic, on and off the pitch. Signing David has been one of my best decisions," al-Khelaifi said.

"He's outstanding as a person, as a player, as an ambassador. He has really made an impact in this squad. Everybody loves him."

Beckham has started once in five league appearances so far with PSG, who top the Ligue 1 table seven points clear of second-placed Olympique Marseille with eight games left. — Reuters
