Triumphant Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers saluted his fantastic Foxes after their historic FA Cup victory.

Leicester lifted the trophy for the first time after Youri Tielemans’ second-half stunner beat Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley.

Tielemans settled a tight game which saw late drama with two fine saves from Kasper Schmeichel and former Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell having a goal ruled out by VAR.

“I’m proud on a personal front but it’s about everyone else, seeing the happiness on supporters’ faces. It’s a special day.”

Around 21,000 fans were also in Wembley, with 6,250 official Leicester supporters seeing their side live for the first time in over a year amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Rodgers added: “It’s been such a tough year for the supporters, the pandemic has kept them out of the stadium but as we have seen today that’s what it is about, the connection between the fans, players and staff.

“It was a fantastic atmosphere and I’m so happy Leicester supporters could be there to see us win it.”
