at long last the wait is over a warm welcome to wembley this is derek ray
joined in the commentary box by lee dixon and we're approaching kickoff
time in what promises to be a spectacular fa cup final it's leicester city taking on
chelsea hi jerry well i'm biased because i'm english through and through what a special place
for a cup final this is i absolutely love this place and those players are in for a real treat
what's a chance to put your name up in lights really looking forward to this i really am
again that should have plenty to say for itself leicester city with the kickoff
well here's how leicester city will line up casper schmeichel is the keeper yuri
tinaman's plays alongside wilfred and dd in the center of midfield
and the tactical configuration has two players in attack from the very outset
and a look at the chelsea starting eleven and
golocante starts alongside matteo kovacich in central midfield and it's an interesting
looking attacking constellation with three forwards listed from the start
aspiely a striker who you can simply never write off jamie vardy of course
has so much know-how lee what do you expect we'll see from him and a foul
in the opinion of the referee now what can they do from this free-kick
situation
from the free kick from long range he didn't miss by muchly
no i thought the ball would be coming into the box but long range free kick is had to go
mount harvest i'm giving it away
indeedy now ricardo pereira has it
james madison the pass intended for ianacho
all the way through to the keeper then and that's easy-peasy for the keeper
the chelsea move still flowing advantage to them
evans indeedy
now chelsea in a position of menace
well what a huge moment that might be for this club the fans are going absolutely wild
well let's take a look at this replay the difference between a good player
and some of the best players is they don't need to take a touch gets his shot
away first time nothing else matters but concentrating on that ball
so underway once again chelsea with the lead in this match
on the ball rudiger kai habets
here's kovacic
couldn't keep it fiancho
rudiger
his fate lies with the referee who booked him earlier
second book of the defense two yellows equal one red well you've got to use your
brain derek you're on a book and you do not make a challenge like that james kai habets
just fractionally wide so unfortunately
and chelsea get the decision from the referee he's been admonished by the referee he's now got
to walk something of a tightrope yeah he knows exactly where he stands look at the referee how
he's told him off there no yellow card but certainly knows what the referee is thinking
mopping up defensively
james madison timothy castane now indeedy ricardo pereira
indeedy johnny evans with it
so one minute of stoppage time that's what the officials have said i'm giving the ball away
do they mean business on this occasion
and so at the halfway stage here and the fans are very close to us
and they are extremely vocal at the moment a sense of injustice over that red card
decision league well you can't blame the fans they all get wrapped up in the emotion
well let's advantage chelsea after the first 45 minutes but a long way from being decided
well he's lost it
has plenty of know-how in the ball shielding department
castanya promising looking attack how about the cross
indeedy keeping the ball moving well possession's not a problem for leicester
but after that it's been disappointing i'd like to see them use those wide areas
around the defense get around them as opposed to trying to go through the middle and the place
coming
corte here's mount
habets mounts purely and a powerful effort but just
lacking accuracy yeah narrowly wide derek decent effort he smashed it
indeedy castanya
now indeedy plenty of forward momentum here but can they produce kai havitz
mateo kovacic
and slipped through beautifully splendid defending and it needed to be
jose perez
ball played nicely and offside
unfortunately
and chelsea struggling to keep the ball
inside the last quarter of an hour
dennis bryant
and jose perez with it beautifully disguised ball
offside close one substitution for chelsea coming off the pitch number 17
matteo cummings to be replaced by number five
can they price them open now and the cross into the middle free-kick to chelsea
substitution then let's see how it affects the match
now straight into the meat of the penalty area and cleared away a corner kick it'll be
and now the delivery not the best
clearance well that's the end of that for now
we might very well have late excitement here five minutes to go and just one goal between them
indeedy well they're attacking but time is the great enemy and the ruling is offside here
now they're going to alter things here's the substitution
on to vienna getting in there to take it away there will be three minutes added on at the end
evans here's tilamans dennis bryant oh jose perez
tilamans
ricardo pereira just straying offside
and the final whistle the cup issue is settled a story of one side celebrating and the other
distraught and lee memories are being made yeah absolutely it doesn't matter how much
money you've got in the bank players will always look back at moments like these
these moments when you pick trophies up win medals absolutely brilliant for this group of players
yeah you can see what it means to this tight-knit team
real solidarity
no
