Jose Mourinho celebrated on two fronts last night as Chelsea reached the Carling Cup final with Andriy Shevchenko on the scoresheet.

Shevchenko ended his lean run in front of goal when he scored twice in the first half against Wycombe, with Frank Lampard adding two after the restart in the semi-final second leg at Stamford Bridge.

Ukraine striker Shevchenko can now look forward to a first cup final for Chelsea after the 5-1 aggregate win over the League Two minnows.

“He needed time to adapt,” admitted Mourinho.

“If he can repeat what he did in terms of his movement, his contribution for the team, his effort to create spaces, his work when we didn’t have the ball and pressing opponents, he is arriving at where we want him to arrive.”
