Tuchel staring at Rodgers like he was about smack him on the back of the head.

y0ssar1an22

certainly should have been a yellow to tielemens there

y0ssar1an22

twas always a risk picking evans if he has to go off

Shame for Evans, big loss for Leicester.

Mars Bar

Real shame for Evans that

Fitz*

That's a shame for Evans. Obviously wanted to come back for this game. He'll be a big loss now.

ShamoBuc

Evans really organised that defence, very vocal, a real leader of the team.

Fully expect Chelsea to win this.

Mars Bar

Love that crowd reaction there

505_

Fofana so good for just 20 years old.

lawred2

Hope Leicester win

y0ssar1an22

come on vardy. get your sally noggin on that!

Fitz*

Dull enough game so far, couple of chances but the keepers haven't been tested yet. Suspect the opening goal might win it.

osarusan

Chelsea bossed the first 30 minutes or so, big gaps between Leicester defence and midfield, but they sorted that out eventually and came more into it. Leicest offering very little up front though.

What's the story with Werner? Is he always so wayward in his shooting?

Agent Coulson

Is Tammy Abraham finished at Chelsea now that he didn't even make the match day squad for this.

4 goals in the FA cup for them season as well.

Have you been hidden in a bunker since August?

I think he was finished as soon as Tuchels came in. Doesn't seem to be his type of player at all.

UK sports minister talking about test games. Talking about mask compliance. I am guessing compliance does not mean in the stands

unless they go in for halland he will stay at chelsea

NIMAN

Woeful stuff.

Not a shot on target from either side.
The modern game is so negative.

All about stopping the other team playing and keeping it tight.

Severe lack of positivity in modern managers.

Yup, and tbh even if they got Haaland, he'd still be there.

He's wasteful - but he's also hugely productive. Works incredibly hard and causes a lot of problems. And even in the worst scoring form of his life, he's still scored or assisted 26 times in all comps this season.

World class goal for an FA Cup Final.

y0ssar1an22

game seems to be opening a bit in the last 10 mins or so

y0ssar1an22

what a strike!

tielemens..leicester 1-0

sligeach

That's some strike by Tielemans. Leicester in front.

~Rebel~

What a strike!

Well worth winning a cup final!

lawred2

Foot like a traction engine

Fromvert

What a hit!

BorneTobyWilde

Is there VAR at play here ?

ShamoBuc

He's been fantastic, great goal.

Bret Hart

Great strike.

BorneTobyWilde

Though there was a handball in build up

Tielemans has been top class today

Youri di Matteo

i think so, but also dont know what rules they are going by today. the assister hand balled but dont think that is relevant anymore

JeffKenna

What an interception in the build up to the goal.

Yea, Leicester player dived like a keeper and blocked the chelsea clearance, and he even looked at ref and thought for sure he'd be sussed, but no handball, and then its in the back of the net. Harsh.

Sam Hain

Stunning strike by the best player on the pitch. But it's as much a a handball by Perez as Silva's was in the 1st half.

BT's ref in the backroom came on and said it would never be given as a handball.

also said even if it was a clear handball the goal wouldn't have been disallowed due to it not leading directly to a goal.

just keep the rules the same!

Pulisic has made a difference for Chelsea

Agent Coulson

Time for Giroud to come on for Chelsea.

Would love to see Leicester hold on and win.

More Chelsea changes.
