Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink was delighted to win the FA Cup in his
final game in charge.
"We were very tough and the team has showed after a setback they
react always, which is what I like," he told ITV1.
"I loved it so much, I enjoyed it so much working with big stars
but they knew what it's all about. They showed in the Premier
League and Champions League and today, a lot of character."
Asked to compare the win with his other successes, Hiddink
added: "It was one of the biggest, a big achievement, winning in
the Mecca of world football, the FA Cup is something you cannot
believe."
Hiddink understandably described the triumph as the highlight of
his short stint in England.
"We have worked so hard since February and I respect these guys
very much," said the Dutchman.
"We had some wonderful performances in the Premier League and
also in the Champion League and this is the highlight, to win the
FA Cup."
Everton boss David Moyes had no complaints about the result. He
told ITV1: "Chelsea were the better team on the day.
"I thought we were having our best spell when they got their
goal from Frank Lampard. He's a big player and he scores goals, and
that's what he did.
"The margins were very narrow in terms of the result but there
were bigger margins on the field."
Moyes praised the efforts of his players saying: "I've got to
give them credit."
He added: "Last year was a semi-final, this year a final.
Whether we won today or whether we hadn't it was progress for
us."
