00:00 The 128th FA Cup Final sees Chelsea take on Everton at Wembley. Chelsea looking to end
00:11 the reign of temporary coach Goose Hiddink with a trophy, Everton aiming for their first
00:15 piece of silverware since winning the cup back in 1995.
00:19 And it's the Toffees who get us underway. Joseph Yobo pumps it forward. Zaha couldn't
00:28 win the header. Pienaar on for Cahill, now Leighton Baines. Pienaar's continued his run.
00:35 Baines spots him, Chelsea appealing for offside, no flag though. Headed up into the air by
00:41 Mikel, Fellaini back on for Zaha! What an incredible start! The fastest goal in FA Cup
00:50 Final history. Everton take the lead after just 25 seconds. And it's Louis Zaha who's
01:00 missed out on four finals due to injury and ineligibility. Well he's taken his chance
01:07 here. Lashed it beyond check. Chelsea appeal for offside against Pienaar in the build up.
01:14 The flag stayed down. Everton lead. And Elka. Chelsea have been much better since going
01:22 behind. Mlouda's cross, in for Drogba! 1-1. Didier Drogba continues his remarkable record
01:33 in major finals. He's now played five in England, he's scored five goals. 21 minutes played
01:42 and Chelsea back on terms. A powerful header from the Ivorian. Chelsea looking to take
01:56 the lead straight away after getting back on terms. It's Frank Lampard! Just over. Chelsea
02:09 coming forward again. Fellaini deflects the ball into the path of Ashley Cole. Chance
02:14 for Cole and he blazes it over. Looking to become the first man in over 100 years to
02:20 win five FA Cups, Ashley Cole. Just lost his nerve at the vital moment really. Iobo was
02:28 there to put him off. Goes Hiddink who's won the equivalent of the FA Cup in Holland four
02:42 times. And his side are level at the break. And it's Saha's goal after 25 seconds cancelled
02:51 out by Drogba's strike. Mlouda on for Lampard. Chipped over the top for Nicolas Enelka! And
03:00 he drops just the right side of the goal as far as Everton are concerned. Enelka playing
03:06 in his second final. He scored in 1998 for Arsenal against Newcastle. A whisker away
03:11 there. Baines whips in the cross. There's Saha! Everton's best chance since the goal
03:20 really. It was Louis Saha again. Excellent delivery on the cross from Baines. Saha rose
03:30 unchallenged and perhaps should have done better. Enelka for Lampard. Neville for company.
03:43 Lampard stumbled but shoots and scores! Chelsea in front for the first time on the afternoon.
03:50 It's Frank Lampard with the goal. Didn't he do well? It looked as though the chance
03:57 had gone when he lost his footing. But recovered quickly and fired it in. Now Howard got fingertips
04:05 to it and the American may well feel he should have done better. Good strike from Lampard
04:13 but could Howard have kept it out? Chelsea lead for the first time on the afternoon.
04:27 Everton really struggling to get back into the cup final now. Chelsea coming forward
04:31 again with Lampard. Now Florian Miluta. Miluta's strike off the crossbar! Chelsea appealing.
04:38 They feel it was over the line. Fearsome effort and that looked as though it had crossed the
04:46 line I must say. Chelsea win the 2009 FA Cup. The fifth time they've lifted the trophy in
04:56 their history. Frank Lampard and John Terry hold the cup aloft. The fitting end to the
05:04 season for Chelsea and to Goose Hiddink's time as temporary coach of the club.
