I've been Amee Ruszkai, and thank you again for following! Stay tuned for the full report of the match which will be shortly.
That's all from us at VAVEL today! Thank you for tuning in to follow the 2015 FA Women's Cup final at Wembley live, with Chelsea defeating Notts County 1-0 thanks to Ji So-yun's 37th minute strike.
The captain says the team "stuck to [their] game plan and stuck to what [they] know," whilst Aluko was absolutely "brilliant."
Chapman now talking to the BBC, saying the game "was a tough battle" but that Chelsea "picked up [their] game" in the second half and "dominated that half."
Davison describes herself as "absolutely buzzing" with the win and said she's pleased for her manager Hayes after all her hard work. She's happy with her first silverware with Chelsea, especially with it being their first at the club.
The Blues have made their way off the stage and are making their way down the stairs to the pitch to celebrate some more, passing friends and family on the way down.
Chelsea now pass their first ever piece of silverware down the line and take a chance each to lift the trophy as Notts watch on from the pitch thinking about what could have been.
Sampson hands the trophy to the England international, and her and Rafferty lift the trophy together, which is greeted with an almighty roar from the Wembley crowd.
As well as leading the way with winners' medals, Chapman will now make history by becoming the first woman to lift the trophy at Wembley.
Chelsea are now coming up the stairs, led by now nine-time FA Women's Cup winner Katie Chapman.
The presentation has now begun, with Mark Sampson giving out the runners-up medals to Notts County's players.
Hayes says that her club have "worked their socks off for three and a half years" for this moment. She credits the players for "working their socks off" and says she "knew they weren't going to be on the losing side" today after the way they started the game and the attitude they showed.
Speaking to the BBC, Aluko describes the feeling right now as "relief" after her side finally showed that they can perform under pressure. She says that her manager Hayes "deserves everything" for guiding Chelsea through this wonderful journey.
However, their attacks were simply not as fluent as Chelsea's today and that proved to be the biggest difference.
Commiserations to Notts, who put on a spirited performance, with the likes of Crichton and Turner in particular putting on great individual performances.
Ji is the match winner, but it's Aluko that claims the Player of the Match prize, and with good reason after such an electric performance and an assist to go with it.
Full time! That's it! Chelsea win the 2015 FA Women's Cup!
93- Chelsea free-kick deep in their own half, when this is kicked, that should be it....
92 - County throw deep into the Chelsea half but it's a foul throw. Passmoor not happy with the decision. Seconds remaining now.
90 - Three minutes added on. Notts cannot string enough together but they need another chance.
89 - Sub for Chelsea as Ji comes off for Coombs.
85 - Chelsea trying to see the game out as Davison runs to the corner with the ball. The Blues used to struggle with their game management, but Hayes has really changed that recently and will be hoping that they use everything they've learned from her in these final five minutes.
84 - Decent chance for Notts then though! Turner launches the ball forward and O'Sullivan can only glance it wide, unable to make more contact with her head at the back post.
83 - Spence fires wide from the edge of the box after a free-kick falls to her. Notts struggling to piece anything together as the game nears its end.
82 - Notts' third and final change of the day sees Crichton come off for O'Sullivan. The Scot is another who's had a good game for County today.
80 - Chelsea made their first substitute as Borges come on for Aluko. Looks to be walking off gingerly, perhaps carrying a knock.
78 - Long ball into the box is chased by Whelan, but Rafferty puts her off and she can only fire wide.
76 - Second substitute of the day for Notts sees Aileen Whelan come on for Buet. Chelsea yet to make a change.
74 - Official attendance of 30,710. The biggest crowd to ever watch a domestic match in England. Fantastic turn out here at Wembley.
72 - Greenwood cannot handle Aluko at all and she is again beaten, only for Turner to make another great tackle. She's having a wonderful game.
70 - Ji tries her luck from distance but it's straight at Telford who makes the save, despite the awkward and late bounce.
69 - Great work by Aluko as she tracks back to thwart Clarke on the attack.
67 - Chelsea on top at the moment. Chapman fouled by Crichton as the midfield battle continues.
64 - Aluko, again unmarked on the right, is picked out by a teammate before getting a shot off that Telford parries behind for a corner. The corner comes to nothing.
63 - Chelsea go down the other end and pose problems via Aluko, but her cross is half-cleared by Walton before Davison fires high and wide from distance.
Promising spell for Notts this, but they need to take advantage - something they didn't do in the first half.
61 - Corner comes out to Scott on the end of the box, and her effort deflects a whisker wide of Lindahl's right hand post. Second corner is attacked by Crichton, but Davison clears her header off the line.
60 - More fortunate for Clarke as she wins a corner from a battle with Rafferty, despite getting the final touch on the ball.
59 - Clarke escapes with a talking-to after a late foul on Chapman.
Susi takes up White's wide role on the left, pushing the England international into her more natural centre-forward position.
56 - First substitute of the match will see Susi enter the fray, who was dropped to the bench for this game despite starting in Notts' 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the weekend. Williams leaves the pitch after having little effect in the game due to her being too isolated.
55 - Good defending from Turner allows her to prevent Spence from latching onto Blundell's through ball.
51 - Bright fouls Clarke in the middle of the park. Free kick goes short and eventual results in a free kick for Chelsea as the latter is caught offside receiving a pass.
48 - Greenwood does well to dispossess Davison and feed White, but her cross fails to find Williams in the box, who needed to move more to help her teammate out.
46 - Blundell fires a pacey cross into the box, but it just evades Aluko. Chelsea out of the blocks quick.
Notts County get the second half underway.
Notts will also have to organise their back line more, with them being far too exposed out wide. Their midfielders and wide players must track back and help out in these areas, especially now that they are going to be pushing forward even more in search of an equaliser.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have been devastating going forward, with Davison and Aluko in particular growing into game and ripping Notts apart with their electric pace and tricky footwork.
County need to be quicker with their transitional play if they are to get back into this game. Clarke has driven forward with the ball on numerous occasions but found herself lacking any real support, leading to her being dispossessed. The team need to move forward as one, and much quicker.
County failed to create chances during their purple patches, whereas Chelsea were far more prolific on the ball, able to carve out numerous opportunities and take at least one of these.
Both teams had good spells, with County arguably edging it, but it was Chelsea who took advantage of their dominant period when they enjoyed it.
Half time. Chelsea take a 1-0 lead in at the break after a very even opening 45 minutes.
45 - Foul by Bright on Scott in the middle of the park as the fourth official puts up one minute of stoppage time.
44 - Spence goes for the spectacular overhead kick but it's way off target as the close nears its end.
42 - Buet looks to race away on the break but Chapman trips her up and receieves a yellow card for the tactical foul.
37 - GOAL!! Aluko has really come to life in these last five minutes and her great work sees her find Ji whose first effort is blocked, but she prods in the loose ball! 1-0 Chelsea!
36 - Aluko this time the creator as she makes her way down the left and curls the ball in for Davison, who somehow misses the target from close range on the stretch.
35 - Second chance of the game again falls to Aluko, the ball breaking to her kindly on the edge of the box. She finds herself a yard to shoot but Telford powerfully palms it away.
30 - First real chance of the game comes to Chelsea. Davison finds Aluko who uses her pace to take the ball round the onrushing Telford, but Bassett and Turner are covering the net as Aluko hits the sidenetting.
29 - Quickly down the other end, Davison beats Greenwood but Turner is covering well and heads clear. Chelsea corner.
28 - Crichton looks for White again, this time from deep, but her attempted pass is off-target and Lindahl collects.
23 - Aluko's cross is well cleared by Turner, then Davison fouls White as they both challenge for the loose ball in the centre of the park.
21 - First effort of the game sees Fahey loop Ji's free-kick over the bar on the half-volley. Always leaning back, never going to hit the target in doing so from close range.
17 - Chelsea suddenly getting a lot of joy down the right. Beginning to get a hold on the game now through Aluko and Davison.
15 - Aluko finds herself stuck in the corner but Davison arrives and evades Scott, but her attempted cross hits the sidenetting.
14 - Davison getting involved now. Greenwood brings her down on the left and Chelsea have a free-kick in a good position.
13 - Davison breaks down the right for Chelsea but her cross is blocked by Greenwood. The Blues scream for handball but the referee waves away claims.
10 - Little of note has been created thus far, with the match carrying a more physical edge in the early stages. Notts have knocked the ball about well, but have seen this break down in the final third. Crichton just tried to thread White through on goal, but the ball is overhit and runs out for a goal-kick.
5 - It's been all Notts so far, with Chelsea struggling to get out of their own half. Nothing much has been created though.
3 - Rafferty has started with a few small fouls, but doesn't want to get herself in the book early, especially up against the pace of Notts County's Jess Clarke.
Chelsea get the game underway... but it's straight out for a Notts County throw.
National anthem has been sung, now the teams will shake hands before taking their positions on the pitch.
Mark Sampson, guest of honour today and the England women national team manager, is now shaking hands with the players from each team. He will present the FA Women's Cup trophy to the winning captain later this afternoon - either Katie Chapman or Laura Bassett, two of his Lionesses this summer.
The teams are walking out of the tunnel now, kick off is just five minutes away at Wembley!
This is the only change to either side as Chelsea field the same starting line-up that played Manchester City at the weekend.
There are few surprises in the line-ups, though Dunia Susi may have been expected by many to play at right-back instead of Sophie Walton. However, Susi drops out of the team as White returns up front after being a substitute for the game against Arsenal last time out.
Both sides line-up in 4-3-3 formations, but will be expected to play very different styles of football - Notts County being more physical and Chelsea more technical and nimble with the likes of Ji So-yun and Eni Aluko in their side.
So Carly Telford starts in goal today for Notts County, not an outfield player, despite her still not being at 100 per cent fitness. Speaking with the Independent this week, she insisted that she was "fine" having played the full match against Arsenal at the weekend, and "just want[ed] to get out there at Wembley" today.
Notts County substitutes: Susi, O'Sullivan, Plumptre, A. Whelan and O'Neill.
Notts County starting line-up: Telford; Walton, Turner, Bassett, Greenwood; Buet, Scott, Crichton; Clarke, Williams, White.
Chelsea subtitutes: Hourihan, Borges, Coombs, Brett and Banusic.
Chelsea starting line-up: Lindahl; Blundell, Flaherty, Fahey, Rafferty; Chapman, Bright, Spence; Davison, Ji, Aluko.
With just over an hour to go, the line-ups are out!
White understands that "it is going to be an incredible occasion" and therefore sees it as even more "important" that the team "put in a big performance." The striker is hopeful that, "come full-time" today, the final "will have topped the other two."
White recognises that "there are still bound to be a few nerves" when the players walk out onto the pitch this afternoon, but she said that the team "can't be frightened" and those who were involved in the World Cup this summer must "draw on what [they] experienced in Canada" to help themselves and their teammates through the nerves.
Bassett's teammate, Ellen White, also spoke about the challenge ahead. A two-time winner of the competition with Arsenal, White said that, whilst she "take[s] a lot of pride" in her previous success in the FA Women's Cup, today's final "will be extra special to play at Wembley, in front of a...record crowd."
Speaking to the FA, Bassett, who has previously won the competition with Birmingham and Arsenal, is excited about what the match means for the women's game. She admitted that her and "a few of the older players" have "had to work so hard to get women's football to this stage," and now they "want to keep doing it so that youngsters have a better, brighter future" and the game "keeps improving."
One of the players who will have to deal with that front three is Laura Bassett, a player who suffered a cruel personal moment this summer when her incredibly unfortunate own goal saw England eliminated from the World Cup in the dying moments of their semi-final with Japan. However, she has bounced back incredibly since, playing her part in England's bronze medal win against Germany, and today has the chance to lift the FA Women's Cup once again - just a day before her 32nd birthday tomorrow.
Passmoor thinks that "Chelsea will start the match as favourites" given their superior position in WSL 1, as well as the fact that "they beat [Notts County] on the opening day of the season." He respects that they "have been doing really well in the league" and that "any combination of their front three is frightening," but insists that he and his team "are relishing the challenge" that will be presented to them today.
The manager believes the decision to play the match at Wembley "keeps that momentum going" throughout the game - "for players, fans and the media" - and he is hopeful that "it will help to grow [women's football] further."
Speaking more about the final itself, Passmoor recognised that this match has "that little bit extra significance" than the usually "huge occasion" anyway, and admitted that it is "absolutely fantastic" to "be a part of the first ever Women's FA Cup final at Wembley" - especially because it comes "so soon after England made history at the World Cup," which makes it "even better."
Passmoor believes it is "a terrific achievement" for the club to have secured their place in "what will be a terrific occasion for the women's game" and, having "been very happy with how [his team] have played in the cup this season," he hopes that Notts "can keep that level up for one more match."
As for Notts County, they are also prepared for the occasion and ready to take advantage of their unexpected and premature advancements in the last two years, since rebranding from Lincoln Ladies. Manager Rick Passmoore, who has led this remarkable revolution, is thrilled with the team's progress, putting it into perspective by simply stating that the club "have got a five-year plan" and they "are in the second season in an FA Cup final."
Speaking about the match itself, Coombs believes that Chelsea's "hard run to the final" has been "great preparation" for the occasion and she thinks that "it's going to be a great game" and "a real battle" because of the "two differents styles of play on show."
The 24-year-old went on to say that she and her team wish to "repay the support of the fans and everyone within the club" by being victorious today at Wembley. She added that "it would be incredible" to help lift "a first trophy for Chelsea Ladies" too.
Coombs credited her manager for "implement[ing] her [attacking] style of play" with Chelsea and believes that "everything has changed at the club to make the set-up more professional" as well.
Chelsea's Laura Coombs is one of just three players remaining from the Blues' defeat in this final to Birmingham three years ago, but she believes that the club "are ready for success" this time round. Hayes has turned things around in the team incredibly since that defeat, being appointed as manager shortly after the final, and Coombs admitted that "sometimes [she] can't believe how much [the team have] come on in such a short space of time."
Yet, Chapman admitted that, "speaking as the Chelsea captain, [her team] are not just going [to Wembley] for the occasion - [they're] going there to win."
The midfielder believes it's "important" to "continue pushing the game," crediting the FA's We Can Play scheme as something that "can help get more girls playing [football] regularly." She is delighted that there are "more opportunities to play then ever before" but, "although [she is] going to continue playing for a bit longer," is "quite sad" that she is "coming to the end of [her] career" at such a great time for the game.
Chelsea captain Katie Chapman has also spoke ahead of today's game, citing it as "another big moment for women's football coming off the back of the World Cup." Chapman, an eight-time winner of the FA Women's Cup, the most of any player, was involved with England this summer and, aged 33, has seen the rise of the game throughout her career. She has called it "absolutely massive" for the women's FA Cup final to be at Wembley, adding that "it would be nice to get a good crowd" which would "help progress the game even further."
Flaherty has won the trophy before with Arsenal, five times to be exact, but she has "been on the losing side as well" and "[doesn't] want to do that again." The 23-year-old was a runner-up in 2010 when Everton beat Arsenal 3-2 after extra time, and she stated that that defeat "will certainly be driving [her] on" today.
A couple of the Chelsea players have also spoken to the FA's website this week, with Gilly Flaherty calling the final "the biggest game in the club's history." She acknowledges that it will be "a great occasion" that "shows how far [England] have come in the women's game," but is hopeful for more than that, saying that she "want[s] to go there and win."
Regarding the game itself, Hayes believes that the match will be "close" as "Chelsea and Notts County are two of the best teams in the country." She thinks it will be won by "a matter of small margins" but reiterated that her team's "goal" is "to win silverware."
Hayes is excited for the match as it is one that "every player and every coach in this country aspires to [take part in]" and has cited "getting to Wembley" as "an incredible achievement for everyone involved." Still, the Chelsea manager insists that her team will not settle for this achievement and that they "are all focused on winning" today because "nobody wants to be a loser at Wembley."
Chelsea manager Emma Hayes has spoken to the FA website ahead of today's game, saying that, whilst managers usually ask players "to play the game and not the occasion" before cup finals, she believes that, "because this is the first-ever Women's final at Wembley," her team "have to respect the day and its historical significance."
Kick-off is just under two hours away now at Wembley, and both teams have had plenty to say in the build up to the great occasion as they bid to become the first team to lift the FA Women's Cup at England's national stadium.
The last time these two met was on the opening day of the 2015 season, with Chelsea 2-1 victors on the road, Davison on the scoresheet twice whilst former-Blue Williams got Notts' ultimately futile equaliser. It's sure to be just as tight today, especially given what is at stake.
Chelsea can be expected to dominate possession, whilst County have all the tools to execute swift counter-attacks to devastating effect - especially with winger Clarke in red-hot form with five goals in her last four games. Still, County's physical and stern defence, arguably the best in the WSL, will have their work cut out for them as the creative likes of Ji So-yun and Aluko look to sprinkle some magic onto the occasion.
Still, neither side are in great form coming into the game, both having lost 2-1 at the weekend - Chelsea to Manchester City and County to Arsenal. Both have two wins and two defeats fom their four games since the World Cup, playing three of these in the league and one in the FA WSL Continental Cup, and so it is sure to be a very even game.
Both teams entered the competition in the fifth round, with Chelsea dispatching Watford 6-0 and County defeating Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 to make it to round number six. Chelsea have had the tougher route, beating Arsenal and Manchester City to reach the final, whilst Notts defeated WSL 2 duo Aston Villa and Everton.
Though the rules should not be changed just to suit teams in poor situations, the FA should certainly have allowed County an emergency loan given that they do not have a fit and eligible stopper. Yet, Telford returned to action at the weekend in the team's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal and showed promising signs of fitness ahead of the big occasion today.
Speaking to the BBC about the situation, County's chief executive, Luke Negus-Hill, criticised the FA, saying that "sometimes common sense has to kick in." He finds it unbelievable that the team could "end up with an outfield player being in goal" for the game, and believes it is unfair that Telford "was injured with England" but County "are the ones that suffer."
Because of the World Cup, the FA Cup final was pushed back to Saturday 1 August, when the occasion usually takes place in the final week of May. This meant that the deadline for eligible players was 16 weeks before the final this year, whereas it was just 36 days in 2014, affecting Notts' player registration and leaving them with just one recently-injured 'keeper for the biggest game in the club's history.
Telford dislocated her shoulder in Canada and is yet to fully recover, but the FA have refused Notts' request to play Chamberlain in the final because she was not registered before the sixth round of the competition on April 12. They have also refused to allow the club to sign a 'keeper on an emergency loan, with third choice stopper Danielle Hill also not registered in time to play.
However, one former runner-up that will not be starring in the occasion is Siobhan Chamberlain, on loan at Notts County from Arsenal. The goalkeeper was recruited by Nick Passmoor's side due to Telford picking up an injury whilst away for this year's Women's World Cup, and was signed until the end of the season to fill in for the stopper voted into the PFA Team of the Year this year. Yet, she is ineligible for the final, meaning Notts will have to gamble on a half-fit Telford.
Chelsea bring more winners to the occasion, with Katie Chapman having lifted the trophy eight times for four different clubs, Gilly Flaherty a five time winner with Arsenal, Niamh Fahey a four time winner whilst at the Gunners, Gemma Davison having lifted it once, also with the London side, whereas Eni Aluko has won the competiton once with Birmingham and once with Charlton Athletic.
Alex Greenwood and Fern Whelan also featured on the losing side last year for Everton, as they fell to a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal.
As for players who know what it is like to be on the losing side, Notts carry five of these. Goalkeeper Carly Telford, forward Jess Clarke and Sophie Bradley were all involved in the 2008 final with Leeds as the Yorkshire club lost 4-1 to Arsenal. Telford was named player of the match despite the loss, whilst Clarke netted her side's consolation.
Rachel Unitt and Rachel WIlliams were also a part of the Birmingham side that were victorious three years ago, the latter even scoring in the match. Unitt, although not to be involved this weekend as she is still out injured, also won the competition with Fulham in 2002 and 2003 as well as once with Everton in 2010.
With Arsenal having dominated the competition in recent years, former Gunners Ellen White and Laura Bassett can boast winners' medals from their time in North London. White won the trophy twice with the club, though her injury-hit spell limited the part she played in achieving these, whilst Bassett lifted it just once in 2009, as well as a further time with Birmingham back in 2012.
As for Notts, this is the closest they have come to winning a trophy in their short two year history, having rebranded from Lincoln Ladies back in 2013. However, they boast a number of previous winners of this competition, as well as players who have experience of appearing in the prestigious occasion, even if it is the club's debut in the match.
Chelsea almost clinched their first piece of silverware last year as they went into the final day of the 2014 WSL 1 season top of the table, but defeat to Manchester City and a win for Liverpool elsewhere meant the Reds reclaimed their title, leaving the Blues in despair. They also came close in 2012 to a trophy, reaching the FA Women's Cup final but being defeated by Birmingham City on penalties.
One of the big reasons why this final is so highly anticipated too is not just because 27,000 tickets have already been sold for the occasion, with pay on the day also available, but also because the winner of this match will get their hands on the team's first ever trophy.
Notts, on the other hand, have not played a home game since their return to league action, however, they have played in front of some huge crowds regardless in their three away trips against Sunderland, Liverpool and Arsenal. They return home on Wednesday to face bottom side Bristol Academy, and will be hoping that they also bring out a record crowd as well as bringing home a piece of silverware.
Chelsea themselves set a record attendance at the weekend in their 2-1 defeat to Manchester City, with 1,857 fans turning up to watch the Blues as they pursue their first WSL 1 title.
This respect has translated into fans, who have shown up at FAWSL matches up and down the country since the two leagues, WSL 1 and WSL 2, resumed last month following the World Cup, leading to record-breaking attendances for numerous clubs.
This decision was made back in March, just a few months before women's football really grabbed the attention of English football fans, and the world, via the 2015 Women's World Cup. Through the BBC's extensive media coverage and, of course, England women's national team's success in the competition, with them winning the bronze medal thanks to a 1-0 win over Germany, their first ever win over their European rivals, women's football has earned the respect of many across the country.
Whilst the men's FA Cup final has been played at Wembley almost every year since 1922, bar the Chelsea - Leeds United final in 1970 that went to a replay, which was played at Old Trafford, and six years at the Millennium Stadium between 2001 and 2007 whilst the new Wembley was being erected, this year is the first year that the women's competition will be showcased at England's national stadium.
Hello and welcome to VAVEL's live coverage of the 2015 FA Women's Cup final between Chelsea Ladies and Notts County Ladies. My name is Amee Ruszkai and I will be guiding you though this afternoon's game, which will take place at Wembley, London, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00BST.
