Willian and Hazard deliver for Conte after Chelsea boss' FA Cup gamble

Three quick thoughts from Chelsea 4-2 Tottenham in the FA Cup semifinals at Wembley on Saturday. • 1. Hazard makes the difference for Chelsea • Antonio Conte's gamble to leave Eden Hazard and Diego Costa on the bench paid off as Chelsea beat Tottenham 4-2 in a compelling FA Cup semifinal. Hazard came off the bench with half an hour to go, and his compelling cameo changed the game. He scored the goal that sent Chelsea in front for the third time and then set up Nemanja Matic to score the fourth. Chelsea go into next month's FA Cup final with a chance to win the Double. Hazard and Costa will also be relatively fresh for their team's Premier League match against Southampton on Tuesday, where a victory would bring the title a step closer. Willian gave Conte's team the lead twice in the first half. Harry Kane and Dele Alli both leveled with brilliant goals, but Hazard had the last word. Chelsea started well.

I Have No Beef With Olamide – 9ice

Singer 9ice, has opened up on his career, relationship with former label mate, Olamide and producer, ID Cabasa. Speaking with Saturday Beats, 9ice talked about his hit song Gongo Aso revealing he never knew it would be that successful. In his words: ¤ “Although people believe that ‘Gongo Aso’ is my best album, to me, my album, ‘Tradition,’ still remains my best album in terms of content and lyrics. What you believe would sell might not sell but it does not mean that it is not good. I never knew ‘Gongo Aso’ would be a successful album. In fact, that was not even the title of the album. The initial title of the album was ‘My dictionary, your diary’; but when the song became very popular, ID Cabassa suggested that we make the song the title of the album. The song, ‘Gongo Aso’ was not supposed to be part of the album. I had finished recording the album when the song came to me and Cabassa said we should destroy all the promo copies we had made and promote the song.
