Some good stats from the game:
By the way, it may be scant consolation, but City set a new FA Cup final record on Saturday. James Chester and Curtis Davies’ goals not only gave the Tigers a dream 2-0 lead, but it was the quickest 2-0 lead established in the cup final. The previous best was back in 1959 when Nottingham Forest beat Luton Town 2-1. Saturday was also the first time three defenders had scored in the cup final with Koscielny being the third. If only Alex Bruce’s header had gone in and made it 3-0, it could have been three City defenders and a completely different story.
