Published: May 19, 2018

Chelsea beat Manchester United 1-0 to be crowned champions in the Emirates FA Cup final held at Wembley on Saturday evening.

Super Eagles winger Victor Moses was handed a starting berth for the showpiece, his third appearance in the competition this term.

The 27-year old was efficient in his defensive duties, keeping Alexis Sanchez quiet with a solid defensive showing at the England national stadium.

While the Blues triumph marked the eighth time they had won the FA Cup in their history, for Moses, it was his third title with Chelsea since joining the Stamford Bridge outfit from Wigan Athletic seven years ago.

Eden Hazard popped up with the vital goal from the spot though, converting in the 22nd minute after United's defender, Phil Jones was adjudged to have clumsily pulled down the Belgian by Michael Oliver.

Having ended a satisfactory season with a title to his name, the Nigerian would now prepare to meet with his national team, with a friendly between England coming up at this ground in 14 days time.
