Chelsea’s late equalizer ruled out by VAR as Leicester secures first FA Cup victory
Leicester City claimed their first-ever FA Cup victory after a dramatic 1-0 win over Chelsea in the final on May 15, 2021. Youri Tielemans was the hero, scoring a brilliant long-range goal in the 63rd minute that proved to be the match-winner.
Chelsea fought back late in the game, with an equalizer from Wes Morgan off a deflection in the 89th minute. However, the goal was ruled out by VAR, and Leicester held on to their historic victory.
Kasper Schmeichel played a crucial role in Leicester’s win, making two outstanding saves to keep his team in front. Jamie Vardy, visibly emotional, dropped to his knees at the final whistle, overwhelmed by the achievement.
Leicester’s triumph was a moment of immense pride for the club, their fans, and owner, with manager Brendan Rodgers dedicating the win to everyone involved with the team.
