manager for three of chelsea's fa cup victories.ea's eden hazard is putting his stamp all over this final. he was the first player to manage a shot on target afterjust ten minutes, but manchester united's david de gea was equal to it. chelsea felt they should have had a penalty soon after when nemanja matic made contact with tiemoue bakayoko. referee michael oliver waved away the appeals. but he gave the blues a spot kick and philjones a yellow card when hazard was brought down. the belgian calmly put chelsea ahead in front of the manchester united fans. 1-0 to 1—0 to chelsea then. these are our live pictures from wembley. lots of talk beforehand was about the rivalry between the two managers. canjose mourinho secure another trophy at manchester united, and will this be antonio conte‘s last match in charge with speculation over his future? we are on the hour mark at the moment at wembley stadium. chelsea still 1—0 ahead. you can see all the action on bbc one. now to unprecedented success in scotland. the showpiece event north of the

in terrific form having lifted the fa cup trophy at wembley just ten days having lifted the fa cup trophy bristol in a couple of matches this season and have beaten them both times so chelsea only need one point, just to avoid defeat to be crowned league champions once again but i guarantee there will be going for the victory. they were champions three years ago, who had been the standout players this season for them? well look no further than the english striker fran kirby, finally free from injury, she's been able to show their class this season. 25 goals in all competitions and she has been rewarded by being voted the way of the year by both the pfa and the football writers association and it has been her attacking partnership upfront with the swiss star that has made the difference this season. taking chelsea to the next level and taking them to the brink of playing ina taking them to the brink of playing in a second chelsea in less than two weeks. eni aluko scored the other night against sunderland, taking them to the brink of this league title. she said she's probably off in the sum
