Chelsea gave departing coach Guus Hiddink [Images] the perfect leaving present when they came from behind to beat Everton 2-1 in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday.
Louis Saha put Everton ahead with a goal unofficially timed at 26 seconds, the fastest in an FA Cup final. The previous fastest was 30 seconds by Bob Chatt of Aston Villa in 1895.
Chelsea, playing under Hiddink for the last time before he returns to coaching Russia's [Images] national team, equalised after 20 minutes when Didier Drogba [Images] rose virtually unmarked to head past Tim Howard in the Everton goal.
Frank Lampard [Images] scored the winning goal after 72 minutes when he curled the ball home from 20 metres.
