Leicester win FA Cup for first time

Leicester City are the FA Cup champions after beating Chelsea 1-0 in a nail biting final this morning.

This is the first time that Leicester has won the FA Cup.

Youri Tielemans scored the goal in the 63rd minute of the match.

The Belgian settled a closely contested encounter with a spectacular right-foot drive that flew beyond Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga into the top corner from 25 yards.

It sent manager Brendan Rodgers down the touchline in celebration although Leicester City's fans - inside Wembley as 21,000 supporters formed the biggest attendance since lockdown - had to survive a nerve-jangling closing phase before they could celebrate the win in their first final since 1969.

Chelsea's Ben Chillwell thought he had equalised in the dieing minutes however VAR ruled it out for being offside by just millimetres.

Chelsea will now face English Premier League champions, Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League final on the 30th of this month.
