FA Cup Winners 2000-2009 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Chelsea

The 2000 FA Cup final was played on 20 May 2000 and was the last to be held at the old Wembley Stadium before it was demolished for rebuilding. Chelsea won the cup with a 1-0 win against Aston Villa. It was their third win overall (1970 and 1997). Roberto di Matteo, who had also scored in the 1997 final, scored the only goal of the 2000 final.

Answer: Liverpool

The 2001 FA Cup final was played on 12 May 2001. Due to the rebuilding of Wembley Stadium, the match was moved to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. This was the first time in the history of the competition the final match had been played outside of England. Liverpool won the match 2-1 thanks to two late goals from Michael Owen. Liverpool, who had already won the League Cup, would go on to add the UEFA Cup four days later to complete a unique treble.

Answer: Arsenal

The 2002 FA Cup final was played on 4 May 2002 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-0 to help complete a second league and cup double under manager Arsene Wenger, who had first achieved the feat in 1998.

Answer: Arsenal

The 2003 FA Cup final was played on 17 May 2003 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Arsenal defeated Southampton 1-0 to become the first team since Tottenham Hotspur in 1982 to retain the trophy. Due to bad weather on the day, the retractable roof of the Millennium Stadium was closed, making this the first final in the history of the FA Cup to be played indoors.

Answer: Manchester United

The 2004 FA Cup final was played on 22 May 2004 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Manchester United, who had finished third in the Premier League, were heavy favourites to defeat Millwall, who had finished 10th in the Championship. This was Millwall's first ever appearance in the FA Cup final, and they became the first team from outside the Premier League since its inception in 1992 to feature in final.

This was helped slightly by the fact that Millwall had not faced any team from the Premier League en route to the final.

Their luck ran out, however, and Manchester United won the match 3-0.

Answer: Arsenal

The 2005 FA Cup final was played on 21 May 2005 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Arsenal faced Manchester United for the fifth time that season. Arsenal had won the initial encounter in the Community Shield at the start of the season, but United had been victorious in both league meetings, as well as a League Cup tie. Despite this, Arsenal had finished ahead of United in the league. United dominated the game, but could not find a way through the Arsenal defence and the game finished 0-0. Arsenal went on to win 5-4 on penalties, with Paul Scholes missing the decisive kick for United.

This was the first time the FA Cup final had been decided on penalties. The last final to finish in a stalemate resulted in a replay, which Arsenal won against Sheffield Wednesday in 1993. Replays for the final were abolished in 1999.

Answer: Liverpool

The 2006 FA Cup final was played on 13 May 2006 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. This was the last final to be played at the Millennium Stadium before the rebuild of Wembley Stadium was finished. Liverpool, who had won the first final in Cardiff, would go on to win this one also, although they had to come from 2-0 down.

The match finished 3-3 after extra-time, with the most memorable goal being a long distance equaliser from Steven Gerrard in stoppage time at the end of the second half. Liverpool went on to win 3-1 on penalties to claim their seventh cup win.

Answer: Chelsea

The 2007 FA Cup final was played on 19 May 2007 at Wembley Stadium in London. This was the first FA Cup final to be played at the newly rebuilt stadium. Manchester United had beaten Chelsea to the league title just two weeks before the match, but Chelsea, who had won the League Cup, won the match 1-0 thanks to an extra time goal by Didier Drogba. Chelsea had also won the last FA Cup final to be played at the old Wembley Stadium in 2000.

Answer: Portsmouth

The 2008 FA Cup final was played on 17 May 2008 at Wembley Stadium in London. Cardiff City were hoping to become first team from outside the top division to win the cup since 1980. Cardiff were the first team from outside England to win the trophy in 1927, a feat which had not been repeated by any team since then. Portsmouth, however, would win a fairly even contest 1-0 thanks to a goald by Nwankwo Kanu.

This was the first time since 1995 that the FA Cup had not been won by one of the so called "big four" of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool

Answer: Chelsea

The 2009 FA Cup final was played on 30 May 2009 at Wembley Stadium in London. Louis Saha opened the scoring for Everton after 25 seconds, to become the time the fastest ever goal scored in an FA Cup final. Despite this early goal, Chelsea went on to win the match 2-1 to claim their fifth title.

The previous record was 30 seconds in the 1895 FA Cup final, Aston Villa v West Bromwich Albion. Villa won 1-0.
