Didier Drogba and John Terry made history as Chelsea withstood a late Liverpool onslaught to seal their fourth FA Cup final victory in six seasons on Saturday with a 2-1 win at Wembley. A goal in each half from Brazilian midfielder Ramires and veteran striker Drogba clinched a narrowly deserved win for Chelsea, with substitute Andy Carroll scoring for Liverpool. The win saw Chelsea skipper Terry enter the record books as the first man to captain one side to four victories in the competition, having already lifted the famous trophy in 2007, 2009 and 2010. "It's fantastic, it's what we live for," a jubilant Terry told the BBC. "We spoke about winning yesterday and we've had a tough competition in the FA Cup this season and we've won. It was a great performance. "At times people have slated us as too old, past it or not together but as a team we come together and unite when our backs are against the wall and we've done that superbly in the last 16 or 17 games." Terry's landmark was also matched by another milestone for Drogba, whose second-half effort made him the first man to score in four FA Cup finals. The defeat denied Liverpool the opportunity to end a largely disappointing season with a second piece of silverware following their League Cup triumph over Cardiff City in February. However, after controlling much of the game, Champions League finalists Chelsea were made to work hard for their win, and Carroll was denied what would have been a dramatic 82nd-minute equaliser when his close-range header was parried onto the underside of the crossbar by Petr Cech. Carroll wheeled away to celebrate, thinking the ball, had crossed the line but referee Phil Dowd and his assistants remained unmoved. Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish was pleased with his side's second-half fightback but admitted his team had paid for defensive naivety.
