Leicester City captain Kasper Schmeichel is full of pride after winning the FA Cup.

Youri Tielemans' 25-yard strike gave them victory, although they needed the video assistant referee to rule out a late Wes Morgan own goal.

Denmark goalkeeper Schmeichel made superb saves to prevent Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount putting Chelsea level.

"I'm so happy I can't begin to describe it," Schmeichel told BBC Sport.

"To think of the people who have lifted this trophy, and to be able to do it today is beyond my wildest dreams."

The Foxes keeper, a key player in their 2016 Premier League win, added: "It's what dreams are made of, I've dreamed about this since I was a child.

"It was horrible [the last few minutes] - I was begging for the final whistle. But now it is all worth it."
