LONDON — Chelsea recovered after conceding the fastest goal in England FA Cup final history, beating Everton 2-1 Saturday to win the trophy a fifth time.
Louis Saha put Everton ahead after 25 seconds at Wembley, but Didier Drogba tied the score in the 21st minute and Frank Lampard delivered the winner with 18 minutes left.
Chelsea won its first trophy in two years, giving manager Guus Hiddink the perfect farewell before he resumes his job as coach of the Russian national team.
"We were very tough, and the team has showed after a setback they react always, which is what I like," Hiddink said. "It was one of the biggest, a big achievement: winning in the Mecca of world football."
