CHELSEA WIN THE FA CUP! Hazard nets the only goal from the penalty spot to secure victory against old boss Mourinho and Manchester United in what could be Conte's final game in charge


CHELSEA 1-0 MANCHESTER UNITED - ROB DRAPER AT WEMBLEY: So Antonio Conte looks like he will depart Chelsea in the manner in which he arrived: upstaging Jose Mourinho. The two rivals, recently bitter enemies, embraced at the end of a final notable more for its use of video technology than its illustrious football. Yet its significance lay though in the result. The man who picked up the mess Mourinho had left at Stamford Bridge and managed to regenerate the team into title winners, before falling victim to the same forces and political pressures that undone his predecessor, had one last parting shot to deliver. In the battle of clubs with underwhelming seasons, Chelsea emerged the victor at Wembley yesterday. And a trophy can give even a mediocre campaign some meaning.
