Benitez urges Chelsea to keep momentum from Man Utd FA Cup draw

Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez hopes his players can continue their momentum from the weekend's 2-2 draw with Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The Blues came from two goals down to force the score at Old Trafford and now the Spaniard wants that form to remain in tomorrow night's Europa League Round of 16 return bout against Steaua Bucharest which they trail 1-0 from the first leg.

"It's important for us to show against a top side like United that we can do it," he said.

"We did it before against other teams, but doing it at Old Trafford, against United, shows that we can do it and hopefully we can keep the momentum."

He added: "I will try to lead by example, so I will concentrate on the next game. That is what I have to do, to make sure we compete in every single competition. The first one will be tomorrow."
