🏆 Leicester City have won the FA Cup for the first time in their history!
And what a goal it was that won it.
A fantastic strike from Youri Tielemans was all what the Foxes needed to defeat a relentless Thomas Tuchel side 1 goal to nothing.(Chelsea 0-1 Leicester)
Before the game, Leicester had gone a run of four finals without winning any. Leicester City’s record in the #FACupFinal:. 🥈 1949
🥈 1961
🥈 1963
🥈 1969
🏆 2021 The curse is finally over as Leicester last appearance in any major finals was back in 1969, 52yrs ago.
Brandon Rogers’s Leicester city side got everything right at the first half of the game as they protected a virgin score line. But a Youri Tielemans strike at the 63rd minute turned the tie around. Chelsea struggled to put one in at the closing minutes of the 90 only to be overturned by VAR.
The Foxes last trophy was the premier league back in 2016, today they take back home the FA cup trophy.
The full time whistle rewarded Leicester city goalkeeper Schmeichel, dreams of winning the FA cup. As the rest of the squad celebrated in ties.
Chelsea were poor today, no excuses. Yes, the VAR call late on was incredibly tight and will feel incredibly unfair, but the Blues just didn’t turn up today.
They will need to be much, much better when the two sides meet on Tuesday in the Premier League.
Congratulations to Leicester City for the party belongs to them.
