'Thank you VAR!' - Tielemans jubilant after 'amazing' technology confirms Leicester FA Cup win

The Belgian proved his side's match-winner on Saturday with a fantastic strike to score the only goal of the game against Chelsea

Leicester City's FA Cup hero Youri Tielemans saluted the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for coming to his side's aid in the dying minutes of their 1-0 final victory over Chelsea.

Tielemans had opened the scoring in the second half with a brilliant long-range goal, bringing the game to life after a staid opening 45 minutes.

Just before the end Chelsea believed they had clawed one back through Wes Morgan's own goal, only for the technology to rule a marginal offside on former Fox Ben Chilwell.
