LONDON (AFP) - Andriy Shevchenko got back in Jose Mourinho´s good books as his double strike sent Chelsea through to the League Cup final with a 4-0 win against Wycombe Wanderers at Stamford Bridge.

Shevchenko had been frozen out by Mourinho in recent weeks after failing to live up to his 30 million pounds price tag, but he went some way to redeeming himself with two clincial finishes against the visitors from the fourth tier of English professional football.

Former AC Milan striker Shevchenko, making just his second start of 2007, also set up the first of Frank Lampard´s two goals in a semi-final second leg victory that sealed a 5-1 aggregate triumph.

Shevchenko was the only player ignored by Mourinho when he consoled his players as they walked off the pitch after Saturday´s defeat against Liverpool, further fuelling talk of a rift between the Ukrainian and his manager.

But, despite not scoring since December 5, Shevchenko was granted a chance in a full-strength Chelsea side that also included Ricardo Carvalho, fit after recovering from a fever.

Shevchenko should have given Chelsea the lead after less than a minute when Ashley Cole´s cross from the left picked him out, but he headed tamely wide from no more than six yards.

Wycombe had belied their League Two status when they battled to a 1-1 draw in the first leg at Adams Park.

Paul Lambert´s team were determined not to go down without a fight in the return and two brave blocks in quick succession denied Shevchenko.

First, defender Will Antwi got in the way of his close-range strike, then goalkeeper Ricardo Batista managed to scramble the ball to safety as Shevchenko closed in on a rebound from Lassana Diarra´s shot.

But the breakthrough that Chelsea´s dominance deserved arrived after 22 minutes and it was Shevchenko who finally delivered.

Wycombe had only themselves to blame though as midfielder Tommy Doherty´s careless pass gifted possession to Shevchenko, who gratefully accepted the chance to surge into the penalty area and slide his shot past Batista.

Chelsea´s defence has been much-maligned in recent weeks and they were exposed when Doherty swung in a cross moments after Shevchenko´s goal, but Tommy Mooney could only scuff his far-post shot wide.

That was a rare incursion into the Chelsea area for Wycombe and their task was made almost impossible just before half-time.

Michael Ballack lifted a pass over the visitors´ defence and Shevchenko sprinted clear before stabbing a clinical strike into the net from 12 yards.

That goal was too much for Wycombe to take and Doherty was involved in a disagreement with Ballack as the players left the pitch at the interval.

The temperature had already been raised when Mourinho and injured captain John Terry, who was sitting behind the dug-out, had argued with fourth official Trevor Kettle after a foul on Ashley Cole earlier in the half.

Any doubts that Chelsea would clinch a second League Cup final appearance in three years were erased when Shevchenko set up his side´s third goal in the 69th minute.

He lofted a long ball forward and, as Batista charged out of his goal, Lampard chipped over Sam Stockley and knocked the ball into an empty net.

Lampard put the seal on a much-needed win for the English champions as he tapped-in Drogba´s cross in injury-time.

Chelsea will face either Tottenham or Arsenal, who play the first leg of their semi-final on Wednesday, in an all-London club League Cup final in Cardiff on February 25.
