FA Cup final report: Leicester lift cup for first time after beating Chelsea
Youri Tielemans stunner decides final
Leicester upset the odds to win the FA Cup for the first time in their history after a 1-0 success over Chelsea at Wembley.
The Foxes, who had been 4-1 shots to win in 90 minutes and 9-5 to lift the trophy, landed their famous success with a thunderbolt from Youri Tielemans.
Former Leicester player Ben Chilwell, who had earlier hit the post, thought he had equalised right at the death only to be denied by the tightest of VAR offside calls and Kasper Schmeichel also produced a stunning late stop to deny Mason Mount to make sure Brendan Rodgers' side were victorious.
The teams meet in a crucial Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday with Chelsea 8-11, Leicester are 4-1 and the draw is 11-4.
Chelsea are 4-9 for a top-four finish, Leicester are 8-15 and Liverpool are 1-2.
