Petr Cech: Had two saves to make but did extremely well on both, the symbol of a top-drawer keeper. 8

Branislav Ivanovic: Did not obtain forward as much as predictable but hardly ever tested defensively. 6

Alex: Never under great force but appeared somewhat uncertain at times. 6

John Terry: serenity incarnate even if the block on Dindane was cruelly effective. Great end to a trying season. 8

Ashley Cole: Had a few problems with Dindane but galloped forward and now an FA Cup record holder absolute. 8

Frank Lampard: Never stopped running and inquisitive. Missed penalty will not have exaggerated him. 8

Michael Ballack: placidly mature in the holding role until crocked by shocking Boateng confront. 7

Florent Malouda: Quiet early on but bloomed as the game opened out. 7

Salomon Kalou: May never live down the miss of all misses. misplaced his way afterwards. 5

Didier Drogba: Continued that extraordinary Wembley record with his sparkling free-kick even though not at his best. 7

Nicolas Anelka: inexorable in opening stages but went into his shell a little. 7

Subs:

Juliano Belletti (for Ballack, 44): send-off performance could have been a frightening after conceding that penalty. 5

Joe Cole (for Kalou, 71): Buzzed around as he required to impact the game in another cameo role. 6

Daniel Sturridge (for Anelka, 90): Not certain he even had a kick after injury-time influx. 5
