Barnsley manager Simon Davey admitted he was left 'speechless' after their FA Cup sixth round humbling of Chelsea at Oakwell.

The Tykes reached the semi-finals at Wembley by following up their fifth round shock win at Liverpool with a 1-0 success over the holders on Saturday evening.

Kayode Odejayi's second-half header put the Championship side into the hat for the last four and afterwards a shocked Davey was in jubilant mood.

He said: "I'm just over the moon. I can't believe it. We went to Anfield and we put on a show and we came away with the result and everyone thought we couldn't do it again.

"I believed from the start that we could, especially because we've only lost here twice this season.

"We had a game-plan and it's obviously worked. I'm speechless at the moment, I can't believe we've really done it. We're in the semi-finals.

"I've never been to Wembley myself, there's a lot of players in that dressing room who've never been and I just can't wait now.

"All the credit's got to go to the players. They were absolutely magnificent.

"To take on a team like Chelsea with the millions they've got was unbelievable."
