FA Cup final - Player ratings
TEAMtalk takes a look at how the players rated in Saturday's FA Cup final between Double winners Chelsea and Portsmouth at Wembley. Chelsea:Petr Cech: Made a stunning reflex save early in the first half, and kept out Kevin-Prince Boateng's penalty - 8/10.Branislav Ivanovic: Got forward well to support the attack and kept Boateng relatively quiet - 7.Alex: Solid display by the Brazilian who helped nullify what little attacking threat Pompey offered - 7.John Terry: The former England captain was again a commanding presence at the heart of the Chelsea defence and unfortunate to see his first-half header hit the crossbar - 8.Ashley Cole: Usual busy display by the full-back, who has now collected a record six FA Cup winners medals - 7.Frank Lampard: Hit the woodwork early on as the England midfielder produced another all-action display, but missed a late penalty - 7.Michael Ballack: The Germany international had to be replaced by Juliano Belletti just before the break because of an ankle injury which could leave him a doubt for the World Cup - 6.Florent Malouda: French winger had a somewhat subdued afternoon, but still provided good link-up with the attack - 7.Nicolas Anelka: Worked hard and had a couple of efforts blocked, and was just off target when given a clear sight of goal in the second half - 7.Didier Drogba: After being thwarted more than once by the Pompey defence and woodwork, the Ivory Coast international slotted in a fine 25-yard free-kick to win the cup with his 37th goal of the campaign - 9.Salomon Kalou: Produced a candidate for the worst miss in FA Cup final history during the first half, and never recovered - 4.Substitutes:Juliano Belletti: Came on for Ballack just before half-time, but gave away a penalty for a foul on Boateng - 6.Joe Cole (for Kalou, 71): Missed a great chance moments after coming on when set up by Drogba in the six-yard box - 6.Daniel Sturridge (for Anelka, 90): No chance to make an impact on the match during three minutes of stoppage time - 6.Portsmouth:David James: Could do little about Drogba's brilliant strike, but made some fine saves, tipping an earlier effort against the underside of the crossbar - 7.Steve Finnan: Former Liverpool defender was stretched at times, particularly in the first half, but recovered well - 7.Ricardo Rocha: Portugal centre-half had his hands full keeping tabs on Drogba and Anelka. Stood up to the challenge well - 7.Aaron Mokoena: South Africa international made several brave blocks, notably in the first half, but gave away free-kick which led to Chelsea goal - 7.Hayden Mullins: Former West Ham man again slotted in at left-back and produced a solid display - 7.Michael Brown: Industrious effort from Brown, who upset more than a few Chelsea players with his no-nonsense approach, but his tired challenge conceded a late penalty - 6.Papa Bouba Diop: A solid display from the Senegal international, but one which could have been better in support of the attack - 6.Kevin-Prince Boateng: Former Tottenham man had been playing well and was creative before his penalty miss - 6.Jamie O'Hara: Brave effort from the on-loan Spurs midfielder, who needed a pain-killing injection in his back to play - 7.Frederic Piquionne: Perhaps should have done better when stabbing a close-range effort at Cech in the first half, but had few other chances - 7.Aruna Dindane: Worked hard to give some width to Pompey's play, and deserved better than to see the penalty he won tamely missed - 8.Substitutes:John Utaka (for Boateng, 74): Nigerian was introduced to try to add fresh legs to a tiring Pompey side - 6.Kanu (for Diop, 81): Pompey's 2008 FA Cup hero could not find another moment of magic during the closing stages - 6.Nadir Belhadj (for Mullins, 81): Made a couple of decent deliveries from the left channel - 6.
