Kelechi Iheanacho fired Leicester into their first FA Cup final since 1969 as 4,000 spectators witnessed their 1-0 win over Southampton at Wembley
Iheanacho's swept finish at the second attempt after 55 minutes was enough to ensure the Foxes progress to face Chelsea
 There is expected to be 21,000 in attendance - including far more supporters - when they return to Wembley on May 15 looking to win their first-ever FA Cup
James Maddison missed two good chances to extend Leicester's lead following his introduction off the bench in front of the watching Gareth Southgate, but one goal was enough for Brendan Rodgers' side
Southampton last reached the FA Cup final in 2003 but failed to register a shot on target - the best chance falling to Ibrahima Diallo - as their run came to a disappointing end
"The FA Cup loves me, and I love the FA Cup," Iheanacho said afterwards, his goal extending his run to having scored in the last three rounds
 His finish was the 14th FA Cup goal of his career while no other player has scored more in the past five seasons
There was a spine-tingling applause as the teams emerged for kick-off at Wembley, where thousands of fans returned as part of one of the government's pilot events
A number of Southampton and Leicester fans were among the 4,000 local residents, including key workers, as the FA Cup semi-final welcomed the biggest crowd in England for 13 months
Everyone in attendance had to prove they had tested negative for coronavirus in a lateral flow test before coming to the game, which will be followed by a larger crowd at next week's Carabao Cup final between Tottenham and Manchester City
The first half was low on major incident, but Leicester created the better chances, spurned on both occasions by Jamie Vardy
 It took until the 34th minute for the first to arrive as Youri Tielemans pounced on an Diallo mistake in midfield to set the veteran striker on his way but with Fraser Forster coming out to close the angle, Vardy lifted his shot over the crossbar
Ron Walker said: "It's a classic Leicester attack
 Win the ball back in midfield, get it forward quickly - it's just missing the similarly classic Vardy finish
 He gets his dink all wrong
 He hasn't scored for Leicester in more than two months; the 34-year-old's confidence is not at its highest
"Vardy may have wondered again how he hadn't found the net a couple of minutes before the break when Jonny Evans' header back across goal from Tielemans' corner was brilliantly taken off his head by Jan Bednarek as the half ended goalless
Southampton, winners of the FA Cup in 1976, had looked slightly frozen by the occasion; they failed to attempt a single shot at goal in the opening 45 minutes of a match for the first time since November 2019 against Everton in the Premier League - but there was more intensity from Ralph Hasenhuttl's side upon the restart
Kyle Walker-Peters won a free-kick, which was delivered by James Ward-Prowse onto the head of Jannik Vestergaard but the defender was unable to direct his header on target
But Leicester would open the scoring after 55 minutes
 Vardy's movement on the flank left Bednarek trailing in this wake, with the striker crossing for Iheanacho to shoot goalwards
 The ball bounced kindly off Vestergaard and the in-form striker made no mistake with the rebound
Reporting from Wembley, Dharmesh Sheth said: "I've no idea what 4,000 fans cheering inside a 90,000 seater stadium is supposed to sound like
 but that sounded louder than 4,000 fans cheering inside a 90,000 seater stadium
"There was much greater urgency now from Southampton as Hasenhuttl introduced Che Adams, and after the Scotland striker's shot was blocked by Evans, Diallo was unable to keep his shot down
He came within a whisker of equalising moments later, however, as he ran onto Wilfred Ndidi's headed clearance to flash a rising volley a yard wide with Kasper Schmeichel stranded
Maddison was summoned from the bench as Rodgers sought to wrestle back control, and he had the chance to put last week's indiscretion behind him when he collected Iheanacho's pass but his shot was blasted over
 Forster watched another Maddison effort sail over but time was running out for Southampton
There was still not a single shot on target - and that's how it would end
 When Ward-Prowse's final corner was claimed by Schmeichel, their wait for a second FA Cup was extended into a 46th year at least as Leicester marched on
Leicester boss : "It's amazing
 The club have been waiting a long time to get to the final
 I thought we deserved it
 We defended strongly and didn't concede any efforts on goal
"As the game wore on we looked really bright in our attacking play and maybe should have had more than one goal
 (I'm) just really pleased for everyone, the players first and foremost
"It's a massive achievement, but we have to be hungry and keep pushing
 We're embracing the challenge, and the players today were first class
 We're certainly not frightened by the challenge
"It's going to be a privilege to lead the team out in the final
 It was always going to be a tight game but I felt we deserved it
 We had to defend well, which we did
 I'm delighted for the players as they've shown that they're constantly learning
"The performance was very composed, mature, and we got the goal that counted
 I just spoke to Top [Leicester chairman Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha] and he's absolutely over the moon
 He was absolutely over-joyed
 It's the early hours of the morning over there so he's been up all night
 To be able to get to the final, I'm very happy for him
"Southampton boss : "We tried a lot and worked a lot against the ball
 The performance was absolutely OK
 We saw a tight game from both teams with both sides struggling to create chances
 We had some moments and won the ball a lot of times in their half
"We didn't ultimately make the final step or create the final chance so we ended up without a shot on target
 Defensively, it was really good what we did today
 The goal we conceded was unlucky
 He managed to hit our player with his first shot
 It's a pity when a goal like this decides a game
"It was the only goal we conceded in our run this season but we have to come back and fight to win it next year
 It was a nice experience playing in this beautiful ground and even with just a few fans, it was a nice feeling
 We now have to concentrate on the remaining games of the season
 If we put the same effort in against Tottenham on Wednesday then we have a chance of getting something
"Iheanacho is the first Nigerian player to score 15 goals in all competitions in a season for a Premier League club since Odion Ighalo in 2015-16 for Watford, who scored 17
"It is a dream come true," he told 
 "Loving it
 I am happy
 We did it together to get to the final
 I watched the FA Cup when I was little and now I get the chance to play in the final
