Chelsea 1 Portsmouth 0

venue Wembley Stadium
date 15 May 2010

Portsmouth, bankrupt and relegated in last place with a nine-point penalty defied the odds to reach their second final in three years under the guidance of Avram Grant, formerly of Chelsea. The team wore a smart strip of white and burgundy trimmed with pink, a reference to their earliest colours but were unable to match a confident Chelsea team, who struck the woodwork five times in the first half.

In the second half Chelsea's Drogba scored what would prove the winner just moments after Boateng's penalty was saved by Cech. Lampard then missed an opportunity to put the game out of reach when he missed a penalty but they finished comfortable winners, recording their first ever League and Cup double.
