Chelsea counter and it's another top save from Boruc to deny Chelsea's second. Hazard breaks and pulls the ball back to Giroud, who looks certain to score, only for Boruc to flick his effort over. Great goalkeeping.

We'll have coverage of the semi-final draw coming up at around 10pm.
Spurs and Chelsea progress
It wasn't easy, especially for Chelsea, but it's them and Spurs that are through to the semi-finals.
A first half strike from Son had Mauricio Pochettino's side 1-0 up at half-time and Dele Alli, who was man of the match, doubled their lead brilliantly with around 30 minutes to play.
Arsenal were lacklustre all night and Spurs deserved to progress. This was only Spurs' second ever victory at the Emirates.
An 84th minute Eden Hazard goal was enough to see Chelsea through to the next round.
The Blues started the match very well but seemed to drop off in intensity as the game went on. David Brooks impressed for Bournemouth, who had a number of chances to take the lead.
Hazard came on early in the second half and scored the only goal of the game after combining well with Pedro inside the Bournemouth box.
