Chelsea defeats Liverpool 2-1 to win FA Cup
Chelsea won the FA Cup for the fourth time in six seasons, beating Liverpool 2-1 Saturday on a second-half goal by Didier Drogba. Drogba became the first player to score in four finals and helped the Blues survive a late onslaught by Liverpool in the 131st final.
Ramires put Chelsea in front after 11 minutes, capitalizing on blunders by Liverpool.
In the 52nd, Drogba scored his eighth goal in eight games at Wembley. He sent the ball through defender Martin Skrtel’s legs and into the net after being fed by Frank Lampard.
“He is my hero,” Lampard said. “No striker I have ever played with has scored so many important goals in finals.”
