5 classic Chelsea versus Manchester United clashes (2000-2017)

FA Cup final 2007(1-0 Chelsea)

Didier Drogba holds the trophy his goal won

A week after being crowned as champions of England, Manchester United in the hunt for a league and cup double marched to Wembley to take on Chelsea in the 126th FA cup final.

The Blues were looking for vengeance following their failure to land a 3rd consecutive league title.

It was the first time that the new Wembley stadium was holding the FA Cup final and many legends were present to see the teams go at each other.

Contrary to expectations, the game was dull.

Drogba's wide shot from 30 yards in the 20th minute was the first discernible attempt before Lampard drew a save from Van Der Sar in the 30th minute. A minute after halftime, Wayne Rooney produced the most gripping moment, dribbling past two Chelsea defenders before unleashing a powerful shot which Cech managed to save.

Leading United's attack, Rooney troubled the Chelsea defense on a couple of other occasions but, failed to get the better of Cech.

With the score 0-0 at the end of 90 minutes, the game went into extra time. United's best chance came when Giggs made a slide to convert Rooney's pass from three yards out however the Chelsea keeper pulled up another save.

The Welshman claimed that the ball had crossed the line but, television replay showed that the ball went in only because Giggs's momentum pushed Cech backward.

Finally, in the 116th minute, Drogba broke the deadlock playing a one-two with Lampard before sweetly putting the ball into the net. It proved to be the game's last chance as Chelsea became the first team to win the FA Cup at the new Wembley stadium.
