Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink was "satisfied" with his side's performance in their 2-0win over Coventry City in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.Hiddink will make his first journey to Wembley as Chelsea manager in the semi-finals and if they play like they did against Coventry then they will be a hard side to beat.
Chelsea opened the scoring through Didier Drogba and secured the win with a delightful second goal which started in their own penalty area and was finished off by Alex.
"We can be very satisfied with the win and the way we played," Hiddink told ITV. "I think we controlled the game very well and then made a beautiful goal to kill the game."
Chelsea are still unbeaten under Hiddink and one of the main reasons for their success has been the return to form of Drogba. The Ivorian was an outcast at Chelsea under previous manager Luis Felipe Scolari, but has been back in the Chelsea first-team under Hiddink.
"He's (Drogba) dangerous but he's good for the team as well," he said. "He can still improve and he's working on some special training sessions. He likes to do that and it's paying off.
"It was an all round good day for Chelsea as not only did they reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but also saw inspirational midfielder Michael Essien make his long awaited return from injury.
The Ghanian international played almost 30 minutes and could now start against Juventus in the Champions League.
