Wes Morgan and Kasper Schmeichel lift the trophy as Leicester celebrate winning the Emirates FA Cup for the first time
Youri Tielemans’ 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.
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.
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.
