Leicester won their first FA Cup football tournament title on Saturday with a 1–0 victory over Chelsea in the final, thanks to a goal from Youri Tielemans. Tielemans scored the only goal of the match in the 63rd minute. This is the first time in Leicester’s 137-year history that the team has managed to win the FA Cup title. Prior to this, Leicester had made the finals three times but did not win.
The FA Cup final was watched by around 20 thousand spectators at Wembley Stadium. It was the most crowded match after the restrictions imposed during Covid 19.
There was tremendous enthusiasm in the audience for this big match in the round of Covid-19. People came here and brought back their old memories. As soon as Tielemans scored a goal in the second half, the entire stadium echoed with noise. Despite the fact that only one-third of the spectators were allowed to come to the stadium, people were very enthusiastic, which remained throughout the match.
Chelsea scored an equalizer in the 89th minute but it turned to the side. Former Leicester player Ben Chilwell’s cross collided with the club’s captain Wes Morgan and went into the goal, but was dismissed as a goal of the side after a video assistant referee (VAR) assisted.
Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel, who won the German Cup in 2017 with Borussia Dortmund and the French Cup with Paris Saint-Germain last year, failed to win the title with his new club this time. At the same time, the team also missed out on winning its ninth FA Cup title.
It is the first major title since Leicester City won the English Premier League title in 2016. The team has also won three League Cups so far. Leicester’s title win was also enjoyable for them as the team won the title in front of their home audience at Wembley Stadium. During this time the spectators present at Wembley Stadium were found to be negative for the coronavirus.
Playing in the 140th final of the oldest competition in world football, Leicester’s team finally managed to get their name written on this trophy. The team has lost in the finals four times before, including the first time the team suffered a defeat at the Old Wembley Stadium in 1949.
