LONDON: Leicester City reached the FA Cup final for the first time in more than 50 years as Kelechi Iheanacho's goal secured a 1-0 win over Southampton at Wembley on Sunday .

A crowd of around 4,000, mainly local residents and key workers, were allowed to attend the semi-final as part of a test event for the return of crowds as COVID-19 restrictions ease. It was no surprise that Iheanacho scored the winner as he has now netted 10 times in his last seven games.Southampton, who had not conceded a goal in reaching the semi-finals, rarely threatened and failed to force a save out of Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

"It's amazing for the club who have waited a long time to get to an FA Cup final," manager Brendan Rodgers said."We deserved it today, we defended very strong.
