Exclusive footage of the players celebrating after winning the FA Cup! The FA Cup Final 2007 was played on Saturday May 19, 2007 between Chelsea and Manchester United. It was the 126th FA Cup Final and the first to be played at the new Wembley Stadium.Chelsea won the match 1-0 through Didier Drogba's extra time goal, completing a domestic cup double for the Blues in the 2006-07 season as they had already won the Carling Cup Final in February. United were playing for a double of their own as they had recently beaten Chelsea to the Premiership title two weeks earlier. The game was widely considered to be a disappointment by pundits and fans alike.
It was the first time since 1986 that the FA Cup Final was contested between the winners and runners-up of the English League, and the first time ever that the Premiership champions and the League Cup winners from the same season had gone head to head in the Final. Manchester United were aiming for their twelfth FA Cup to extend their overall record as the most successful team in the competition's history, whilst Chelsea were playing for their fourth FA Cup overall. Chelsea were also the last club to win the FA Cup at the old Wembley Stadium, when they beat Aston Villa in the 2000 Final.
