Who became the first man to score a goal in four different FA Finals?

Didier Drogba became the first man to score a goal in four different FA Cup Finals. The Chelsea striker achieved the landmark in the 2012 final against Liverpool, scoring the winning goal in Chelsea’s 2–1 victory at Wembley Stadium.

Drogba had already scored in Chelsea’s earlier FA Cup Finals in 2007, 2009 and 2010. His 2012 goal made him the first player in the competition’s history to score in four separate finals. He also won all four of those finals with Chelsea, an unusually dominant record in English cup football.

The achievement is often confused with scoring four goals in one final or scoring in four consecutive FA Cup matches. It refers specifically to separate FA Cup final matches. Drogba’s record added to his reputation as a big-game player: he also scored Chelsea’s equaliser in the 2012 UEFA Champions League Final before converting the decisive penalty in the shootout.
