English F A Cup Final

Chelsea 2 Everton 1. Despite taking a very early lead, an opportunistic goal by Saha, it was not enough to bring back the Cup to Goodison Park. Drogba equalised in the 21st. minute and after that it was a matter of time when will Chelsea get another goal. And it came thru Lampard who scored with his weak left foot but enough placement to beat a slightly off-position Howard. Chelsea got another one thru Mouluda but the goal, a reminiscene of 1966 goal scored by Geoff Hurst at 'old' Wembley, was disallowed. Television replay clearly showed that the ball did crossed the line. But justice was done, when at the final whistle, Chelsea won by 2 goals againsy 1. Ashley Cole was declared the man of the match. To me the award should have been awarded to Mikel Obi, he was magnificent in midmield and it was he who actually won the game for Chelsea. Chelsea Chelsea..!
