Jurgen Klopp matches Sir Alex Ferguson's feat and creates FA Cup history

Jurgen Klopp became the first German manager to win the FA Cup and matched one of Sir Alex Ferguson's achievements after Liverpool defeated Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday evening.

Blues boss Thomas Tuchel was also vying for the honour as Klopp's compatriot, yet it was the Reds icon that took the acclaim following a pulsating shootout. The final required penalties after neither team managed to break the deadlock inside 120 minutes.

Kostas Tsimikas has secured his place in Liverpool folklore after scoring the winning penalty in London. That strike came after England international Mason Mount missed Chelsea's last penalty - confirming his sixth consecutive defeat in a Wembley final.
