Youri Tielemans stunner seals Leicester City FA Cup victory over Chelsea

With 21,000 fans in attendance, the biggest post-lockdown crowd in the UK, Tielemans produced an iconic cup moment with his 30-yard strike after 63 minutes winning it forChelsea were denied a very late equaliser in the most dramatic of circumstances, with former Leicester defender Ben Chilwell ruled offside by the smallest of margins by VAR after his cutback had deflected home.

During a somewhat tense first half where no shots on target were registered, Chelsea looked the more threatening without troubling Kasper Schmeichel.Jonny Evans was deemed fit enough to start for the Foxes having missed his side’s last two games with a heel injury, slotting into a back three alongside Wesley Fofana and Caglar Soyuncu.

Chances were scarce; Cesar Azpilicueta was inches away from connecting with a header at the back post with Timo Werner finding space to drive at the Leicester backline, but unable to find the target. The next one was worth the wait, however. With Thiago Silva backing off, Tielemans lashed an unstoppable effort into the top corner, beating Kepa in the Chelsea goal and sparking jubilant celebrations with the Leicester fans in attendance.Chelsea players confronted Michael Oliver to unsuccessfully protest the goal – adamant Ayoze Perez had blocked the ball with his arm leading to the break in play from which Tielemans struck.

Yeah...go Leicestershire
