5 memorable FA Cup fixtures between Chelsea and Manchester United

Sir Alex Ferguson and Brian Kidd celebrating the team’s 1994 FA Cup triumph

#2 Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United, 19 May 2007

Drogba scored in the 116th minute to clinch the FA Cup for Chelsea

The 2007 FA Cup final between the two sides was the first one to be played in the new Wembley Stadium. Chelsea started the stronger side, but Manchester United slowly grew into the game with Rooney, in particular looking extremely dangerous.

The game was goal-less after 90 minutes and looked to be heading towards a penalty shootout. But some excellent link up play between Drogba and Lampard, set the Ivorian through on goal as he chipped over Edwin van der Sar to clinch the trophy for Chelsea in the 116th minute of the game.

It was Chelsea’s 4th FA Cup triumph and the first one under Jose Mourinho. Drogba would then go on to score at three more FA Cup final triumphs at the new Wembley for Chelsea, cementing his status as the ultimate big match player.
