Leicester win first ever FA Cup

block

Leicester City beat Chelsea 1-0 on Saturday to win the FA Cup for the first time in the club’s history, as over 6,000 of their fans cheered them on from the stands at Wembley Stadium. Youri Tielemans’ magnificent 63rd minute strike gave Brendan Rodgers’ side the cup in their fifth final appearance, but it was not without its drama or controversy as goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel made a stunning late save to deny Mason Mount in the 87th minute. A minute later Ben Chilwell thought he had scored a goal to send the game into extra-time, but the VAR ruled his strike out for a marginal offside. If that wasn’t enough, the two sides will meet again at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium on Tuesday night with a place in next season’s Champions League up for grabs.
