Chelsea took the lead just 42 seconds into the match, with Italian midfielder Roberto Di Matteo receiving the ball and firing it into the goal off the crossbar from 25 yards to record what was at the time the quickest ever goal in a Wembley FA Cup final, breaking Jackie Milburn's 42-year record (Louis Saha broke this record 12 years later in the 2009 final after just 25 seconds, ironically against Chelsea, though Chelsea won the match against Everton 2-1). Middlesbrough's prolific striker Fabrizio Ravanelli limped off after 21 minutes, further diminishing his side's chances of victory. Late in the first half Gianluca Festa put the ball in the net for Middlesbrough, but the goal was ruled out for offside. In a largely disappointing match, in which Chelsea were generally in control, Chelsea eventually added a second goal seven minutes from full-time with Eddie Newton steering the ball into the net from Gianfranco Zola's clever flick to seal a 2–0 win.
Following a poor quality first half in which few chances were created, the match was brighter in the second, with Chelsea generally having the better of the play. George Weah missed several chances and Dennis Wise had a goal disallowed for offside, while Villa's Gareth Southgate headed wide. On 73 minutes, Roberto Di Matteo scored what proved to be the winning goal, capitalising on an error from Villa goalkeeper David James to put the ball in the net from close range. James came roaring off his line to deal with Zola's free-kick from the left, he fumbled the ball against Gareth Southgate's chest with Di Matteo blasting the rebound into the roof of the net. Villa could not get back in the match, their best chance falling to Benito Carbone, but his tame shot did not test Ed de Goey in goal.

Kim Kardashian and Kayne West have both discreetly listed their homes for sale, setting the stage for the big, "We're movin' in together" ... TMZ has learned.

Kim has given a "pocket listing" to a realtor for her $4.8 mil Beverly Hills home -- a pocket listing doesn't appear in official real estate documents. We're told Kim's asking price is $5 million.

Ditto Kanye, who listed his L.A. home as well -- again, a pocket listing.

Sources close to the couple confirm ... both are selling their homes so they can rent a house together. They're looking for a really private place to live ... behind gates.

Eisgrou moved to Florida in 1949, and Primack followed her in 1971. There, they enjoyed the majority of their lives, outlived their husbands, and had one son each.

They're both astonished by their record-breaking age.

"I can't believe it, that I've reached that age. The good thing is our minds are sharp. That's the only good thing," Primack told ABC.

Amazingly, the twins continue to live almost completely independently.

Eisgrou started driving at age 78, and didn't stop until four years ago, when her now 71-year-old son told her "I shouldn't get a new car with all the hijackings," reported the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

They both use a cane to walk, but are healthy and independent. Primack even survived ovarian cancer years ago.

Their longevity may in part be due to their sense of humor. They recalled to the Daytona Journal that they often used to switch husbands when they visited each other.

"I used to visit Daytona and we'd switch husbands and walk in the temple," Primack said, "And they'd say to me, 'Charlotte, you look so good.'"

"Nobody ever knew the difference. And by the time they found out, they were hysterical," Eisgrou told ABC. "We had so much fun."

"They are very funny," Jerry Primack, Ann's son, added. "They bicker constantly."

Although the sisters have always been close, they cannot agree on what has led them to live such a long life.

According to the Daily Mail, Primack credits genes and "never being fat" while her twin Eisgrou says it's because she drank lots of milk.

"Everybody asks me that. I don't know what it was," Primack told ABC. "I didn't watch my food when I was young. I smoked. We all smoked."

Eisgrou added: "I don't know the secret to a long life. And I wouldn't tell you if I knew it."

"We love each other and we always will," Primack told ABC.

Eisgrou and Primack are the second oldest twins in the world, born 39 days after non-identical twins Edith Ritchie and Evelyn Middleton from Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Clarification: A previous reference to the sisters being "inseparable" has been removed to avoid confusion

Nigeria our dear country is in Need,different individuals has expressed different opinion about our country,some called her Failed state others have different views,but come to think of it Human from history records has shown that human lack wisdom(incomplete),do you know that great minds have been proven wrong with what they thought the future hold?Now Nigeria is drifting because our leaders don`t know that it`s better to educate the populace than to denial them Education,i think a responsive government should subsidies education not to make it affordable for the few,the truth we must admit to a large extent is that we don`t know tomorrow but we can work towards it with believe that it will be better.Tuition fee must be subsidized so that those who crave for higher education can afford it,right now due to hike in tuition fee in the universities most intending students can not foot their bills either by them selves or their parents.I remember a sitting Nigeria senate president said that (PHONE) is not meant for every body but today the reverse is the case.In Nigeria north there is this Al majiris right,who are used buy some disgrunted elements in the society to cause panic,but if these individuals were educated i know we would have less problems to solve.Our people must be educated,empowered,the future of our dear country will sure be on the right footing.This primary things education,power(eletric)urban planning,a responsive and consistant government will take us to were we are supposed to be.

The IBORI Example is there for us to reflect,the problem is that most Nigerian people can Easyly be bought,they know a rogue yet they support such individuals,Nigeria need a LEADER & that LEADER we have not found yet,because the people we have are self serving individuals, for any leader to serve,to his or her best such a person should be prepared to make sacrifices that we lack yet.

My dear Nairalanders please be real,i have read all through your comments,Mr Fashola can be a model for Nigeria but not what you are talking about(queuing)in an Airport check in,it`s faking it,Governors have protocol officers how assist them do this,except on international flight were due to errors the governor`s attention may be needed other than that the governor is not proving anything as far as i know.

This what i call initial gaRaGarA,He can not sustain it,But if he succeed better for Nigeria as country cos we are not at War for goodness sake,go to our neighbouring sister country you `ll hardly find road blocks.
