Chelsea ended Manchester United's hopes of a a first double in 14 years as Demba Ba's spectacular strike secured a 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
Ba volleyed in a Juan Mata pass four minutes into the second half to send Chelsea into the semi-finals and deny runaway Barclays Premier League leaders United a Wembley clash with derby rivals Manchester City.
Petr Cech made a stunning 61st-minute save from Javier Hernandez and Chelsea held on to stay on course for a fifth FA Cup triumph in seven seasons, with City their last-four opponents on April 14.
For the Blues, beaten by Southampton on Saturday, it was a much needed fillip ahead of Thursday's Europa League tie with Rubin Kazan and means a season of disharmony could end on a high.
All of United's energies, meanwhile, are now on wrapping up the Premier League title after their hopes of a first double since the 1999 treble-winning season ended.
