Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo has won all the personal awards of English football this season, but Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has the last laugh scoring the only goal in the FA Cup final… and thus, Chelsea is the English FA Cup champion.
Drogba scored the goal 5 minutes before the end of 120 minutes (extra time) after a clever one-two with Frank Lampard. Rio Ferdinand and Edwin Van der Sar could be blamed for slow responses, but it was a great goal nonetheless.
This is not a classic game; the 1st half was so boring that I would rather see some old lady singing on the other TV channel. The 2nd half was slightly better, with Wayne Rooney making some bullish run, and Arjen Robben doing some trickery at the other end.
Ronaldo had a quiet game by his standard; he only had a couple of half chances in 90 minutes, and his contribution in the extra time was not significant as well.
United seemed more aggressive in extra time, and came close twice from Ryan Giggs and Rooney… but Petr Cech was there to the rescue.
In the end Drogba scored the winner, and it proved to be Chelsea’s day. A boring game, but Chelsea won it fair and square… congrats to the Blues.
