Following two years of disruption caused by the corona virus pandemic the FA Cup<\/a> finally returned to normal in 2022 and saw a full house at Wembley for the final for the first time since 1999.<\/p>\n The 2022 edition of the FA Cup was the 141st season but the 150th anniversary of the first Football Association Challenge Cup first held in 1871-72 and won by Wanderers.<\/p>\n Wanderers went out of existence in 1887 but the FA Cup is still as big as it ever was.\u00a0 The final was a replica of the League Cup<\/a> final earlier in the season with Liverpool taking on Chelsea.\u00a0 Liverpool won the League Cup on penalties 11-10 and this was pretty much a carbon copy final for the FA Cup with Liverpool winning 6-5 on penalties following a 0-0 draw.\u00a0 In fact, only the 5th 0-0 final in history and the first since 2005 between Arsenal and Man United.\u00a0 The other three 0-0 draws all came before 1912.<\/p>\n Liverpool won their 8th FA Cup to take them joint third on the all time list with Tottenham and Chelsea, but a ways behind Man United on 12 and Arsenal on 14 at the time.\u00a0 Chelsea earned the dubious honour of becoming the first team to be beaten in three consecutive finals having lost to Leicester in 2021<\/a> and Arsenal in 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n Liverpool won their first League Cup and FA Cup in the same season since 2001.<\/p>\nRound of 64<\/h2>\n
