Chelsea recovered from conceding the fastest goal in FA Cup final history to beat Everton 2-1 on Saturday and win the trophy for the fifth time.

Chelsea recovered from conceding the fastest goal in FA Cup final history to beat Everton 2-1 on Saturday and win the trophy for the fifth time. Louis Saha had put Everton 1-0 ahead after just 25 seconds at Wembley,but Didier Drogba equalised in the 21st minute and Frank Lampard struck the winner 18 minutes from the end.

The comeback clinched Chelseas first trophy in two years and gave Guus Hiddink the perfect farewell in his final match before stepping down as manager.

We were very tough and the team have showed after a setback they react always,which is what I like, Hiddink said. It was one of the biggest,a big achievement: winning in the Mecca of world football. The FA Cup is something you cannot believe.
