Leicester's FA Cup final dreams come true as Chelsea fall short at Wembley

LONDON -- Stretched above the majority of Leicester supporters, housed in a semi-circle behind the Wembley goal into which Youri Tielemans unleashed a majestic 25-yard strike to beat Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup final, was a banner bearing the image of the club's deceased owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Thirteen words accompanied his picture, bearing a warm smile and hands clasped: "Our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them."

It is 20 months since Vichai tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash at the King Power Stadium, a disaster that strengthened the bonds at a club driven by purpose and poignancy under the guidance of his son Aiyawatt, known as Khun Top.
