at long last the wait is over a warm welcome to wembley this is derrick 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 is chelsea up against watford hi derek 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 a chance to put your name up in lights really
looking forward to this i really am thank you for attending stadium enjoy the game
and this confrontation is underway
here's the lineup for chelsea and golo kante starts alongside matteo kovacich
in central midfield and as for the attack well it
has a bold look about it with three forwards listed from the beginning
mount conte has it
struggling to keep the ball
chill well well he went strongly into the challenge and the result is a throw in
and kovacic seeing his pass intercept it
tom cleverley not high quality defending
interception to snuff out the danger
ken sema and chelsea regaining possession
and chelsea have given us away harvest
bernard well he couldn't quite keep it on target just why
tom cleverley
so a throw into chelsea
mount
well it might still work out for them and offside
oh close one well derek they're not happy ref is taking the brunt of this
well chelsea very much dictating the tempo over the last 15 minutes or so derek they
really have put the pressure on you feel their play deserves a goal but will they get one
they need to just be a little bit better a little bit more clinical
oh great vision oh he's through here keeping possession of the ball with them take same
what's an important piece of defending and firing it into the area not fantastic defending let's see
if it helps the opposition able to get his body in the way well smuggled behind for another corner
and now the delivery not no end products
a good and fair challenge it is a decent looking attack here
and you don't want to lose possession
there
and mount and it was a risky chip and the referee has pointed to the spot
a penalty it is and a chance for them to forge ahead
well that could be his final rebuke i think and the referee's making that absolutely clear i like
that derrick good refereeing nice and strong told the player exactly what he was thinking
a goal accurate from the sport
well here's the replay and this is the type of penalty you dream of the keeper goes early and
you just slot it into the empty side and off you go to celebrate with your mates easy stuff
and there it is the halftime whistle
the two teams have switched around and are ready now for the second half
will hughes
chill well well possibilities in the center cleared away comprehensively
kai habets really good high press real chance ball is loose
and snuffing out the danger but a corner coming up and they will make the change now
he's driven in the corner gets his glove on x
so a throw into chelsea
will they be stopped now
well as we see it again the one two is so hard to stop when it's done
like that and he composes himself coolly sliding past a lonely keeper who will be
asking questions about where his back four went to
well a second goal for them here
possession stats for chelsea pretty good if you have that much of the ball you can put pressure
on the opposition defense and they look like the creaking that's why they're winning comfortably
he takes aim well he had designs on a double but the goalkeeper wasn't having it
well he did better than the first time the goalkeeper what a save that is
over it comes punched away
tom cleverley
take it away
what can chelsea do from this position
he's in behind another poor ball and easy for the keeper
tom cleverley and cut out by kante how many times do we say that
this attack looks highly promising real danger
gray just couldn't get it through
can they get in behind them
well he made sure there was absolutely no way through
and it crossed the by line a goal kick as a result for chelsea time for the change now in the 17th
no two ways about it can strike fear in any opponent yeah well he scores so many goals
because he takes so many shots the keeper must be absolutely sick and tired of him yet another
goal today and i don't think he's finished there either oh he's given the ball away
tom cleverley
after the foul a chance to contemplate what is next and perhaps a goal from this free kick
able to close down the shot well not giving him any breathing room
chelsea couldn't keep it
and showing fine vision cook for one back here and he clears it out of harm's way
and only two minutes remaining here
he's given us away the referee's verdict is three additional minutes dangerous looking through ball
he had to react and in
and the final whistle the cup issue is settled
a story of one side celebrating and the other distraught and late 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 where 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
