00:00 The FA Cup final back where it belongs.
00:05 Farewell to Cardiff, welcome to Wembley.
00:07 A new stage is set for the nation's sporting theatre
00:10 and the finest performers in the land are here to play out the drama on opening day.
00:14 For only the third time in 126 finals,
00:18 the league's top two will contest football's most famous cup.
00:22 It is Chelsea versus Manchester United
00:25 and the sense of occasion is utterly spine-tingling.
00:28 Brilliant play from Frank Lampard.
00:31 Very, very calm.
00:33 And is this a Chelsea break as Cole finds Drogba?
00:36 And the runners are now ahead of Didier Drogba.
00:40 He goes for the shot!
00:42 Goodness me, that looked pretty tasty from where we were in the end.
00:46 Edwin van der Sar, I think, has comfortably watched it a few feet wide.
00:49 Hasn't fully settled. Ferreira.
00:52 Got to that ball first.
00:55 And Paulo Ferreira still going.
00:57 And the shot from Lampard pulls a save from van der Sar,
01:00 the first of any note.
01:02 Frank Lampard didn't really get hold of it.
01:04 If he had, we could be looking at Chelsea leading.
01:06 And that is your lot.
01:18 Not too many saves for either keeper to make.
01:21 Superstars everywhere you look.
01:23 There's more than enough talent on show today
01:25 to change the half-time scoreline, which is Chelsea 0,
01:28 Manchester United 0.
01:30 Rooney away from Essien.
01:32 Ferreira across the cover. Rooney still has the ball at his feet.
01:35 He struck it well.
01:36 Cech's made the save.
01:37 The flag's gone up, so Giggs' rebound wouldn't have counted anyway.
01:40 But Rooney has tested Cech for the first time proper.
01:44 First big chance of the game for Man United.
01:46 Yes, Rooney's used them by not using them there, hasn't he?
01:54 Scoles.
01:55 It's a good ball!
01:57 And it's a great chance, and it's a great chance missed
02:00 by Manchester United skipper Brian Giggs.
02:03 It required good technique.
02:06 It almost got it, Jason.
02:08 Plenty of wit and plenty of pace.
02:13 It is dropped, but no!
02:17 Goodness me, the side netting.
02:19 A few Chelsea fans thought it had gone in.
02:21 Well, he pulled the shock on all of us, and it nearly worked.
02:24 It is all about the delivery.
02:28 And it's Giggs who does the delivering!
02:31 Good quality delivery.
02:32 Over the front man, missed that front man out,
02:34 and you've got a chance.
02:36 Now we're ready for half an hour's extra.
02:39 Best limbs, the ones who can get through this mentally
02:42 and physically stronger, I think, will win this.
02:45 Well, we hoped for better in the second half.
02:47 It definitely was better, but there wasn't enough quality
02:49 to find the back of the net for either side.
02:51 After 90 minutes of Wembley's first cup final,
02:55 it is Chelsea 0, Manchester United 0.
02:58 Ronaldo.
02:59 And Rooney!
03:02 And surely!
03:03 Brian Giggs says he wants a goal.
03:06 What has been given?
03:07 No goal.
03:09 Rooney could have done no more.
03:11 No, it's not a goal. It's not a goal.
03:14 It's not a goal.
03:15 It's not a goal.
03:18 It's not a goal.
03:19 - You're sure it's not a goal, Jason? - It's not a goal.
03:22 Robben, little bit of space.
03:24 Will he run at goals?
03:25 On to that left foot.
03:27 And that's dangerous!
03:29 He's got to go for a goal, I suppose, from there,
03:31 but he might have been better trying to head it across.
03:33 Well, the best chances we've had have been the first half of the extra time.
03:37 Kalou from Drogba's flick.
03:39 Kalou's got the legs.
03:40 He's running at Ferdinand.
03:41 Solomon Kalou!
03:43 Oh, it's just wide!
03:45 It's one of the few real glimpses of goal anyone has had in this match.
03:50 And Chelsea couldn't really have come any closer.
03:53 I haven't seen much of Ashley Cole since he's come on.
03:55 Chelsea can't get the ball to him at the moment.
03:57 Kalou.
03:58 Kel finds Drogba.
04:01 Little flick on.
04:02 Didier Drogba's in it!
04:04 And Didier Drogba's score!
04:06 Surely it's the goal that wins the FA Cup for Chelsea!
04:09 He's the man for the big moment!
04:11 He has done it again!
04:13 The Carly Cup final was down to him,
04:15 and now the FA Cup final is two!
04:18 Chelsea 1, Manchester United 0.
04:21 What a goal it was as well.
04:23 Well worked in there.
04:25 That's what you want, a delicate finish.
04:26 Mikhail's done excellently well to get anything to Drogba.
04:29 Great awareness, but what a ball that is into Drogba.
04:32 And beats the unrushing Van der Sar,
04:34 and slots it into the back of the net.
04:36 That has got to be the goal that wins us the FA Cup.
04:39 Chelsea have got the score, number 11, Didier Drogba!
04:44 They just don't know when to give in.
04:46 They didn't want penalties.
04:48 No-one wanted penalties.
04:50 United do now, though.
04:52 He is the big man for the big moment, and no mistaking.
04:56 Didier Drogba, 33 in all competitions.
05:01 No, miss kick.
05:02 Brown's in there.
05:03 Everyone's in there.
05:05 Solomon Kalou.
05:06 Lampard.
05:08 Give it back to Kalou. He has.
05:10 Drogba's calling for it. Kalou might go all the way here.
05:15 Solomon Kalou.
05:16 That'll do, all the way to the Chelsea fans.
05:19 Buys up a few more seconds.
05:21 I reckon there's three left.
05:24 That's it.
05:25 Chelsea have won the FA Cup.
05:28 The first final of the new Wembley has a winner.
05:31 It didn't take penalties to get one either.
05:34 Didier Drogba has done it again.
05:36 Blue is the colour at Wembley.
05:38 Forget about the red seats, Jason.
05:40 Chelsea are celebrating.
05:42 It wasn't a classic final.
05:44 Who cares?
05:45 For the fourth time, Chelsea have won the FA Cup.
05:48 Full-time here at Wembley.
05:50 Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United.
