Fifth time lucky for Foxes - the best of the statsLeicester won their first FA Cup final at the fifth attempt, becoming the 44th different side to win the competition. Chelsea have become the first team to lose the FA Cup final in consecutive seasons since Newcastle United in 1997-98 and 1998-99. This was the 45th FA Cup final to finish 1-0, at least 20 more times than any other scoreline in the showpiece. Leicester's Kasper Schmeichel is the first goalkeeper to captain the winning side in an FA Cup final since David Seaman with Arsenal in 2003. Chelsea's Olivier Giroud played in his sixth FA Cup final - since World War Two only Ashley Cole (8), Ryan Giggs (7) and Roy Keane (7) have appeared in more.
