El t\u00e9cnico del Leicester City, Brendan Rodgers, dijo: \u201cNo sab\u00eda cuando llegu\u00e9 a Leicester que nunca hab\u00edan ganado la Copa FA, as\u00ed que poder d\u00e1rselo a los aficionados y al propietario, es un d\u00eda tan especial.
\u201cEs un esfuerzo colectivo real en Leicester City, desde la directiva, los jugadores, el personal y la afici\u00f3n. Es un d\u00eda incre\u00edble para la ciudad y estoy muy orgulloso de todos.
\u201cEl gol de Youri fue como un gol anticuado para ganar la Copa FA. Tambi\u00e9n debo mencionar la parada de Kasper Schmeichel: esos son los momentos que necesitas en los grandes juegos.

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nouri Tielemans\u2019 stunning second-half strike steered four-time runners-up Leicester City to their first-ever Emirates FA Cup title, with the Foxes edging Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chances were few and far between in a cagey first half, with Chelsea winning six corners but neither side being able to produce a single shot on target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The match opened up dramatically after the break and Tielemans became the first Foxes player to score in an FA Cup final since Ken Keyworth in 1963 with a 63rd-minute piledriver that proved to be the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chelsea thought they had equalised late on but VAR ruled out Ben Chilwell\u2019s deflected effort for offside, and they ultimately fell at the competition\u2019s final hurdle for the second successive year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roared on by the 20,000 fans in attendance both teams started energetically, but it was the Londoners who began on the front foot with Timo Werner threatening down the right early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A couple of Chelsea corners followed with no reward, while at the other end Jamie Vardy embarked on his first battle with Blues defender Reece James, with the latter holding firm down the flank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chances started to slowly appear at both ends of the pitch with Antonio Rudiger hitting a speculative effort well wide, and Vardy firing into James from Timothy Castagne\u2019s smart cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thiago Silva was penalised for handball and Caglar Soyuncu headed over from the resulting free-kick, before Mason Mount announced himself to the match with a drop of the shoulder and a deflected shot midway through the first half. Werner launched a shot well over moments later but Chelsea were gradually ramping up the pressure, and smart work from Silva opened up a chance for Cesar Azpilicueta who just couldn\u2019t quite connect with the ball at the back post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jonny Evans\u2019 return from injury was cut short as he was replaced by Marc Albrighton shortly after the half-hour mark, but fellow defender Wesley Fofana was soon on hand to make two key blocks from Werner efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soyuncu steered another header off target after Jorginho\u2019s foul presented the Foxes with a free-kick chance, but Chelsea went straight down the other end with Werner again going for goal from range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tielemans\u2019 sumptuous ball found Vardy bursting into the Chelsea box to no avail, before the latter cleared a corner at the other end that marked the last action of the first half.https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creator<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chelsea looked to gain an early advantage after the break and after some silky play in midfield, Marcos Alonso headed a tame effort straight into the hands of Kasper Schmeichel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leicester responded with Tielemans delivering a couple of searching balls into the Blues box, with James and Alonso on hand to avert the danger for Thomas Tuchel\u2019s men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Leicester grew in confidence as the game continued to open up, and with time and space close to the Chelsea box Tielemans fizzed a beautiful strike from range into Kepa Arrizabalaga\u2019s goal to make it 1-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Soyuncu challenge on Mount prompted Chelsea to appeal for a penalty as they urgently looked for a chance to level matters, and with 12 minutes to go a combination of Schmeichel and the post kept out a goal-bound Chilwell header.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Chelsea plunged deeper into Leicester\u2019s half, Brendan Rodgers applied several reinforcements to his backline but it was goalkeeper Schmeichel again who came up with the goods with a brilliant stop to deny Mount with little over three minutes left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was further drama at the death when Tuchel\u2019s charges thought they had scored after Chilwell\u2019s cross deflected into the net, but VAR ruled the England defender offside, seeing the Foxes over the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel said:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m so happy I can\u2019t even begin to describe it. I\u2019ve dreamt of this since I was a child, we\u2019ve talked about wanting to win trophies and I\u2019m so proud of everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEveryone\u2019s contributed. To get to the final, everyone\u2019s played, everyone\u2019s been sensational – the team, the medical staff, everyone. That\u2019s why when you work together and you do things properly you have an internal belief you can achieve things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cToday is a great day and we\u2019ll enjoy it thoroughly, but we\u2019re training tomorrow because we play Chelsea again on Tuesday in another massive game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers said:<\/strong> \u201cI wasn\u2019t aware when I came to Leicester that they\u2019d never won the FA Cup, so to be able to give that to the supporters and the owner – it\u2019s just such a special day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s a real collective effort at Leicester City – from the board, the players, staff and the supporters. It\u2019s an amazing day for the city and I\u2019m just so proud of everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYouri\u2019s goal was like an old-fashioned FA Cup-winning goal. I have to mention Kasper Schmeichel\u2019s save as well – those are the moments you need in big games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOverall I thought we were the better team. I thought we pressed the game really well, we were super aggressive tactically, and we were always a threat with the ball. Chelsea are a fantastic team but I thought we deserved to win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chelsea (3-4-2-1):<\/strong> 1. Kepa Arrizabalaga, 24. Reece James, 6. Thiago Silva, 2. Antonio R\u00fcdiger, 28.
