Chelsea ended the season on a bit of a high as the Blues won the FA Cup by beating Manchester United 1-0. The only goal of the game came via Eden Hazard as he stroked in a penalty in the 22nd minute.
It was the Belgian who actually won us the penalty when he was brought down by Phil Jones. United did have a few chances and even had a goal ruled out for offside which was the correct decision taken.
Antonio Conte might not have gotten us into the top-four in the Premier League but he has now won us this beautiful trophy and he fully deserves to be appreciated for the same.
One big talking point was Conte starting Olivier Giroud over Alvaro Morata and it certainly seems to have paid off as we have some reason to celebrate.
Hopefully, we will come back stronger next season and meanwhile, here is how the fanbase reacted to Chelsea’s FA Cup triumph.

FT 1-0 #cfc Mourinho gets Mourinho’d. Could be Conte’s final match in charge but the players came together for him here to defend with resilience and commitment. #mufc dominated but lacked ruthlessness (and a little quality) in the final third.
