FA Cup 2011/12 Betting - Chelsea Scrape Home

Chelsea won their fourth FA Cup in six years after beating Liverpool 2-1 in a match of two halves. Chelsea dominated the first period and went in at the break a goal to the good, courtesy of a goal from Ramires. The Blues doubled their lead shortly after Didier Drogba's left-foot finish. However, everything changed after Andy Carroll's introduction, as Liverpool started to take control of the game. The impressive Carroll got a goal back and then with only eight minutes remaining he thought he had grabbed the equaliser, only for the referee to wave play on after the striker thought his header had crossed the line.
