LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel said his side were closing the gap with Manchester City and their 'benchmark' coach Pep Guardiola after the Londoners' 1-0 FA Cup semi-final win on Saturday.

"If you play against Pep, you know that you play against the highest level in Europe because everywhere where he was on the sidelines, with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now Manchester City, he was the benchmark for years with his teams and he is again," Tuchel said. Saturday's win -- secured with a 55th-minute goal by Morocco forward Hakim Ziyech -- leaves Chelsea in the hunt for silverware in the May 15 FA Cup final against either Leicester City or Southampton, and in the Champions League with a semi-final clash looming against Real Madrid.
