2000 FA Cup Final

2000 FA Cup Final

The 2000 FA Cup Final took place on 20 May 2000 and was the last to be played at the old Wembley Stadium. Manchester United did not participate due to their participation in the World Club Championships at the request of the FA. It was contested between Chelsea and Aston Villa, who had finished 5th and 6th respectively in the Premier League that season. In a close-fought contest, Chelsea secured their second FA Cup in three years with a strike mid-way through the second half from Roberto Di Matteo.

Following a poor quality first half in which few chances were created, the match was brighter in the second, with Chelsea generally having the better of the play. George Weah missed several chances and Dennis Wise had a goal disallowed for offside, while Villa's Gareth Southgate headed wide. On 73 minutes, Roberto Di Matteo scored what proved to be the winning goal, capitalising on an error from Villa goalkeeper David James to put the ball in the net from close range.
