History was made on Saturday as Leicester City defeated Chelsea in a dramatic 1-0 win to secure their first ever FA Cup.

Youri Tielemans’ stunning strike was enough to crown Leicester as the champions against Chelsea who were seeking to win the competition for the ninth time.

Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho and Ndidi also played a significant role in securing the first FA trophy for their side.
