It was a night to remember for Leicester City as Brendan Rodgers' men went down in history books as the first Leicester side to win the FA Cup, as they beat Chelsea 1-0 in the final.

Wembley Stadium welcomed 21,000 fans for the match and although there was little to cheer in the first half, Youri Tielemans finally broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute and became the third Belgian player to score in an FA Cup final.

There was late drama when Wes Morgan put through his wn goal in the 89th minute before it was ruled out by the barest of margins following the intervention of VAR.

While Leicester won their first FA Cup final in 5 attempts, Chelsea have become the first team in 32 years to lose the FA Cup final in consecutive seasons.
